"Have you seen this Statue of Liberty design that the CCAC is recommending for American silver Liberty for 2025? I wasn't able to get the whole coin in the scan but it looks to me like you'd see it on the side of a train car."
I hadn't seen any of these designs yet. The meeting minutes haven't been posted to the CCAC website yet, but here's what Coin World reported.

The CCAC’s recommended obverse design for the silver American Liberty medal reimagines the Statue of Liberty in stylized graffiti form. The base of Liberty’s torch is in the shape of a crown that rests on the L in LIBERTY. The crown is at once a tribute to the graffiti art form (the crown is a reference to graffiti artists as kings of the art form) and an allusion to how Americans converted their rule under a monarchy into their vision of a new nation.
Here are some of the other candidate designs. Follow the link below to see them all.
