Program Information:
In 2009, the United States Mint introduced a new six-year platinum coin program. This new series explores the core concepts of American democracy by highlighting the Preamble of the U.S. Constitution. This program will examine the six (6) principles of the Preamble as follows:
2009--To Form a More Perfect Union
2010--To Establish Justice
2011--To Insure Domestic Tranquility
2012--To Provide for the Common Defence
2013--To Promote General Welfare
2014--To Secure the Blessings of Liberty to Ourselves and our Posterity
The themes for the reverse designs for this program are inspired by narratives prepared by John G. Roberts Jr., Chief Justice of the United States, at the request of the United States Mint.
