The Lipton Gallery is displaying a $3 million Augustus Saint-Gaudens statue that inspired the famous, similar design for Double Eagle gold coins.
This coin, the first commemorative half dollar issued since 1954, commemorated the 250th anniversary of the birth of George Washington. It was also the first 90% silver coin produced by the U.S. Mint since 1964. Designed by Elizabeth Jones, chief sculptor and engraver of the Mint, the obverse features George Washington astride a horse. The reverse depicts the eastern facade of Washington's home, Mount Vernon. The Uncirculated version was struck at Denver and the Proof at San Francisco.
