The final ballot for Coin of the Year in 2024 was so evenly distributed that the top five coins were separated by a margin of just 10 votes. However, there was no mistaking the strength of the Liberty Through Perseverance 100 Dollar gold coins’ gracious design, as it surged past the next closest competitor by half of that spread.

2024 年年度硬幣的最終投票結果分佈非常均勻，前 5 名硬幣的差距僅為 10 票。然而，自由通過毅力 100 美元金幣的優雅設計的力量是不容置疑的，因為它以一半的差距超越了第二接近的競爭對手。

The winning coin’s obverse features a bristlecone pine, a species native to California, Nevada and Utah. It is thought to be one the oldest living organisms on Earth, living up to 5,000 years. Bristlecone pines grow in places where other plants cannot and are often the species that are the first to repopulate the land after cataclysmic changes such as a lava run or glacial runoff. It was sculpted by Joseph Menna and designed by Elana Hagler.

獲獎硬幣的正面刻有狐尾松，這是一種原產於加利福尼亞州、內華達州和猶他州的樹種。它被認為是地球上最古老的生物體之一，壽命長達 5,000 年。狐尾鬆生長在其他植物無法生長的地方，並且通常是在熔岩流或冰川徑流等災難性變化之後最先在土地上重新繁衍生息的物種。它由約瑟夫·門納 (Joseph Menna) 雕刻，埃拉娜·哈格勒 (Elana Hagler) 設計。

The reverse design depicts a young bald eagle standing on a rocky outcropping moments before it takes flight. Artistic credit goes to John P. McGraw.

背面的設計描繪了一隻年輕的禿鷹在起飛前站在岩石上。藝術功勞歸於約翰‧麥格勞 (John P. McGraw)。
