At the unveiling ceremony, Treasury Deputy Secretary Sarah Bloom Raskin, said that when she first saw the coin's design by Justin Kunz, it took her breath away.
"As we as a nation continue to evolve, so does liberty's representation," said Elisa Basnight, U.S. Mint chief of staff, "We live in a nation that affords us the opportunity to dream big and try to accomplish the seemingly impossible."
While a coin representing cultural diversity was long overdue, the Treasury announced that the 225th anniversary Mint is the first of a series of coins featuring depictions of "an allegorical Liberty in a variety of contemporary forms."
Future currencies will reportedly include designs to better represent the diversity present in the United States -- featuring other ethnicities such as "Asian-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, and Indian-Americans" and more.
