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 年年度硬币的最终投票结果分布非常均匀，前 5 名硬币的差距仅为 10 票。然而，自由通过毅力 100 美元金币的优雅设计的力量是不容置疑的，因为它以一半的差距超越了第二接近的竞争对手。

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.

获奖硬币的正面刻有狐尾松，这是一种原产于加利福尼亚州、内华达州和犹他州的树种。它被认为是地球上最古老的生物体之一，寿命长达 5,000 年。狐尾松生长在其他植物无法生长的地方，并且通常是在熔岩流或冰川径流等灾难性变化之后最先在土地上重新繁衍生息的物种。它由约瑟夫·门纳 (Joseph Menna) 雕刻，埃拉娜·哈格勒 (Elana Hagler) 设计。

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.

背面的设计描绘了一只年轻的秃鹰在起飞前站在岩石上。艺术功劳归于约翰·P·麦格劳 (John P. McGraw)。
