The obverses of the gold coin and silver medal depict a bristlecone pine tree, which symbolizes American liberty through a modern interpretation of the concept. As a native species of California, Nevada and Utah, the tree is believed to be one of the oldest living organisms on earth, with bristlecone pines living upward of 5,000 years. Bristlecone pines are also known to grow in areas where other plants cannot survive and are often the species first to repopulate the land following cataclysmic changes. The coins and medals feature the ancient trees as a bold representation of the perseverance of American liberty.

The reverse features a full profile of a young bald eagle standing on a rocky formation only moments before it takes flight. The one-ounce coin contains .999 fine 24-karat gold, includes a reeded edge and a 'W' mintmark. The one-ounce medal contains .999 fine silver and bears the 'P' mintmark representing Philadelphia.

To complement coins and medals submitted at the show, NGC, the official grading service of the American Numismatic Association (ANA) since 1995, will offer an exclusive ANA certification label for qualifying coins and medals. The label features the ANA logo and its Lamp of Knowledge member logo.

The NGC ANA label is available for coins and medals that are purchased at the ANA show and submitted with the original Mint purchase receipt. The label is free by request when one of these designations is selected:

First Day - ANA designation:
