The 1916 Mercury Dime Gold Coin and Silver Medal Set is the first of the Best of the Mint semiquincentennial series.
The Best of the Mint Silver Companion Medal to the 1916 Mercury Dime, also known as the Winged Liberty dime, features a design that continues from obverse to reverse that recalls the period of 1916 through 1945, when the Mercury dime was in circulation, representing years of great change and upheaval, both foreign and domestic, for the United States. Observing that during this period the United States would enter two world wars, Liberty is depicted in both defensive and offensive positions.
