This is the medal that launched my collecting interest in Statue of Liberty medals.  I erroneously thought that this was the first medal produced by the United States Mint depicting the Statue of Liberty.  That distinction belongs to the Mint's medal of the Secretary of the Treasury in 1918, William Gibbs McAdoo.  However, I was correct on my second reason for purchasing the intemediate sized gold medal.  It is the first medal produced in gold by the United States Mint that was made available to the public!
