As reported last week, the Citizens Coinage Advisory Council (CCAC) is set to meet next Tuesday, January 21, 2020. That meeting is set to discuss designs for medals and a 24-karat gold coin commemorating the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II. In a rare step, CCAC has released candidate images for these medals and coin before the actual meeting.
Traditionally, CCAC does not release candidate images of medals or coins until after the meeting itself, making the release of the images below a rare event. It also suggests that the designs have long been in development by Mint artists.
The meeting will be held in the United States Mint Headquarters on the January 21, 2020. It will start at Noon Eastern. Full details about the meeting can be found in the Press Release from CCAC found below.
The Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC) will hold a two-hour public meeting Tuesday, Jan. 21, to review and discuss candidate designs for gold coins and silver and bronze medals commemorating the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II.
