Celebrating the end of this extremely successful series, Washington is the ideal city for the final edition of the Tiffany Metropolis collection. It is a symbol of the political power and the historical identity of the United States of America. As the capital district, Washington is home to the White House, Capitol Building and the popular Washington Monument – iconic buildings that represent the very heart of American democracy. It was here where crucial events happened, including the ratification of important laws and civil rights movements that helped shape the Country.
The coin features a highly detailed section of the original city map with polished streets as a contrast, the defining look of the series. The city’s most important buildings, such as the White House and the Capitol, are depicted in ultra-high relief. The renowned Potomac River and the Anacostia River are depicted on this coin through an integrated Tiffany glass piece. The reverse side features the Arlington Memorial Bridge, which was opened in 1932 and symbolizes the unity between the North and South of the USA after the Civil War.
