Who is she? what did she do of note? what laudable ideal does she represent?
Who is Liberty?
What has Liberty done that is of note?
What laudable ideal does Liberty represent?
Excellent questions. And should be included in the essay portion of every High School seniors graduation examination.
If you don't like idealized female humans, what would you have? Fur-bearing Mammals of North America? World's Best Hunting Dogs?
She is nobody in particular.
As such, she has done nothing.
I believe the laudable ideal she represents is "Liberty".
It's not much different from the representation of "liberty" shown on many other US coins.
Personally, I think they could have done better with the sculpture. It's not the best representation we've seen on American Coinage, but then, that's all subjective. I'll probably buy one of these.
