October 15, 2019 The Honorable Steven T. Mnuchin Secretary of the Treasury Department of the Treasury 1500 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, D.C. 20220 Dear Secretary Mnuchin, A public meeting of the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC) was held on Tuesday, October 15, 2019 to review and obverse and reverse designs for the 2021 United States Navy Silver Medal. The committee had dialogue and discussed with the liaisons the elements that were important from a historical perspective. The committee voted and recommended NAV-O-05. This design received 19 votes. This design highlights the old and new. The USS Constitution, under full sail, is silhouetted behind an Arleigh Burke class destroyer, as old technology gives way to the advanced multi-mission destroyer of today. The inscription "UNITED STATES NAVY" is offset · across the top border. The committee voted for 2 designs for the reverse of this coin, 11 votes for NAV-R-04 and NAV R-19. NAV-R-04 depicts three of the Navy's most common platforms - an F14 fighter jet, a destroyer, represented by the USS John Paul Jones, and a Virginia class submarine in stylized water. The inscriptions "UNITED STATES NAVY" AND "FORGED BY THE SEA "encircle the design. NAV-R-19 combines elements of the Navy's history. Commodore Perry's hand-sewn battle flag with the inscription "DON'T GIVE UP THE SHIP," waves proudly above modern elements of a Navy emblem that includes a bald eagle, anchor, and shield. Rope and chain borders encircle design. Based on the close vote and discussions with the liaisons, the committee recommended the following pairings NAV-O-05 with NAV-R-19 and also alternative choice NAV-O-12 with NAV-R04. +~ Thomas Uram, Chairperson CCAC Established by Act of Congress, Public Law 108-15 October 15, 2019 The Honorable Steven T. Mnuchin Secretary of the Treasury Department of the Treasury 1500 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, D.C. 20220 Dear Secretary Mnuchin, The Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC) met in public session on Tuesday, October 15, 2019, to discuss the 2021 American Liberty High Relief 24 K Gold Coin and Silver Medal candidate designs. The CCAC reviewed the design portfolio and recommends AL-O-02. AL-O-02 depicts a wild American Mustang horse buking off a western style saddle, evoking the throwing off of the yoke of British rule during the American Revolution. The Mustang horse is presented both as native to this land, yet simultaneously and immigrant to the nations as we know it today. The ancestor to all true horses alive today evolved here in North America. Those horses inexplicably disappeared at the end of the last Ice Age, only to be accidentally re-introduced in their domesticated form by the Spanish in the 1500s (having earlier reached Eurasia by way of Bering land bridge). AL-O-02, which features the horse centered on a rising sun, received 17 of a possible 24 votes. A variation ofthe design, AL-O-02A, received 14 votes. The committee also encouraged the Mint to consider WHS-O-05 as an acceptable design from The Women's Suffrage portfolio. This design received 16 votes. Ultimately, the committee settled on AL-O-02 to be paired with reverse design AL-R-12, which presents a close-up view of an eagle. AL-R-12 received 15 votes. 4-L- Thomas Uram, Cha irperson CCAC Established by Act of Congress, Public Law 108-15 ~' - - ' - - - - - - ~ - - - . . , Citjzeos Coinag~ .~ t.ltjsory ·CoJD•ittee i ~n 1 .~ i. q::1 ,.\ l r'C"lt;·-9 ~ \\,, \\' i~L1i 1irrn!, IJC > >J,J1j . . - - j ' . ___ .. ·- .- . . . ~ October 15, 2019 The Honorable Steven T. Mnuchin Secretary of the Treasury Department of the Treasury 1500 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, D.C. 20220 Dear Secretary Mnuchin, The Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC) met in public session on Tuesday, October 15, 2019, to discuss the reverse designs for the 2021 and beyond quarter dollar. By statute, the quarter must feature a design of George Washington Crossing the Delaware River. The committee reviewed twelve very nice and historically significant quarter designs. It was very clear that the recommendation of the committee is GWD-12. This design is a modernized design of Washington crossing the Delaware. The design depicts Washington in the foreground leading his troops through the ice-choked Delaware River during a nor'easter. The committee recommends GWD-12 with 23 of possible 24 votes. Thomas Uram, CJ ~&.:-CCAC Established by Act of Congress, Public Law 108-15 October 15, 2019 The Honorable Steven T. Mnuchin Secretary of the Treasury Department of the Treasury 1500 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, D.C. 20220 Dear Secretary Mnuchin, The Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC) met in public session on Tuesday, October 15, 2019, to review and discuss the Women's Suffrage Centennial Silver Medal. Recognizing that there is a pending legislation for a 2020 Women's Suffrage Centennial Commemorative Silver Dollar, the CCAC reviewed the design portfolio from several perspectives. First, the CCAC reviewed the portfolios (presented as an historical portfolio and a modern portfolio) with an eye toward recommending a set of designs for a medal that would celebrate the centennial of the ratification of the 19th Amendment. In making this recommendation, the CCAC considered designs that would be able to stand on their own, yet also complement and extend the story told on a possible commemorative coin, should the legislation be enacted. In addition, the CCAC recommended a set of designs that could be produced as a silver dollar commemorating the ratification of the 19th Amendment. The committee first reviewed designs from a historical portfolio. WS-H-0lA features three women's profiles overlapping showing different ages and ethnicities. Each women is wearing a different type of hat to symbolize the many decades the movement spanned. The figure in the foreground is wearing a different type of hat to symbolize the many decades the movement spanned. The figure in the foreground is wearing a cloche hat with an art deco pattern and a button with the year 19th Amendment's ratification. WS-H-OlA received 19 out of a possible 24 votes. It should also be states that WS-H-O05 received 18 votes. For the potential commemorative coin, the committee paired WS-H-O-0lA with WS-H-R-04, which received 16 votes. WS H-R-04 features text from the 19th Amendment beside Suffragists from different eras of the movement. The Committee then turned to the Women's Suffrage modern designs. WS-M-O-01 received 14 votes. This design depicts an allegorical tableau of a young African American woman offering a rose to a female child and an older woman in Suffragist garb holding a large American flag, representing a generational continuity between Edwardian era Suffragists and the young daughters of the modern era. The design is intended to represent the various generations of Women's Suffrage, connecting the original Suffragists to the modern generation, and to show that the responsibility is now in their young hands. The inscription "1920-2020" is included. This design was selected contingent upon the modification that the flag would be folded behind the central figure so that the flag does not appear to be touching the ground. For the silver medal WS-M-O-0lwas paired with WS-M-R-08, receiving 18 votes. WS-M-R-08 depicts a prominent location for Suffragist protests, the Northwest Gate to the White House. The gate is open, representing accessibility granted to women voters by the ratification of the 19th Amendment. Arcing across the top of the design is the inscription, "THE 19th AMENDTMENT TO THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION." The text of the amendment is centrally featured. The inscriptions "1920-2020" and "RATIFIED AUGUST 18, 1920" are included. It should be noted that WS-M-R-01 received the second highest votes totaling 16.
