Liberty for All: A personification of this ideal is a long-standing fixture on U.S. coinage.

This article from the Numismatist journal explores the historical significance of Liberty's representation on U.S. coinage. From the establishment of the U.S. Mint in 1792 until 1948, images of Liberty were a common feature on American coins. The idea of depicting Liberty on coins was inspired by the ancient Roman Republic, where abstract concepts like liberty were personified as goddesses. Liberty's depiction on U.S. coins changed over time, with various hairstyles and bust styles. The article also mentions the association of Liberty with the pileus, a symbol of freedom worn by freed slaves in ancient Rome. The article concludes by mentioning that the word "LIBERTY" still appears on modern U.S. coins, and the Presidential Dollar series reintroduced Liberty in the form of the Statue of Liberty on the reverse.
