label: Description
content: Calling this coin a “Mercury” dime is a misnomer, as the figure portrayed upon it is none other than the goddess Liberty, wearing a winged hat. The coin’s reverse bears a symbol called a fasces (fas-eez), which represents sovereign authority and strength. On the dime, it is wrapped in an olive branch, showing that while the nation is strong, it prefers peace to conflict.
