April Stafford of the United States Mint presented a proposal to produce a 2015 24-carat gold ultra-high relief coin and a silver medal carrying modern images of Lady Liberty. 3. Chairperson Marks commented on the history of the 2009 Ultra-High Relief 24carat gold coin produced while Edmund Moy was the Mint Director.

Mr. Marks commented that the Mint’s current proposal was keeping in line to Mr. Moy’s vision. Mr. Marks also stated that the silver medal that is part of this proposal could serve as the first arts medal as envisioned in the Committee’s April 8, 2014 recommendation for an arts medal program. Mr. Marks said he felt the Mint’s proposal represented a opportunity for the Mint’s artists and the Artistic Infusion Program Artists to produce exciting new medallic art that would showcase their capabilities. He commented further that he hoped the Mint would utilize the 40.6 mm Silver Eagle planchet for the silver medal as was used in the case of the 2011 September 11th National Medal. Committee members offered their comments on the Mint’s proposal. Support was strong among members. 4.
