Instead of the Statue of Liberty, the standard design element of Platinum Eagle Coins, the obverse design of these proof coins uses the lifecycle of the oak tree to represent the development of freedom over time as the nation evolved.

The 2024 coin showcases several types of oak leaves assembled, symbolizing the Right of Assembly. The inscriptions on this side are “WITH THE RIGHT TO ASSEMBLE LIBERTY SPREADS,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” and “2024.”

The reverse design remains the same, featuring a flying Bald Eagle with an olive branch in its talons. The engravings on this side are “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “$100,” “1 OZ.,” and “.9995 PLATINUM,” along with the “W” mintmark from the West Point branch.
