The inscription on the tablet, in the left hand of Liberty, reads "July IV, MDCCLXXVI". This is the date of that America declared its independence from Great Britain. It is July 4, 1776 .....
IV translates to 4, (I=1, V=5; the smaller number to the left of the larger number means subtract the smaller number from the larger number. So IV means 1 less than 5, which is 4)
MDCCLXXVI = 1776, since M=1000, D=500, C=100, L=50, X=10, V=5 and I=1, and adding all the symbols together yields 1776.
Hope this helps.
