• In 1966, Ralph Baer began to investigate how to play games on a
  television. He and his team developed the “Brown Box,” a prototype for
  the first multi-player, multi-program video game system. This paved the
  way for all video game systems that followed. Baer is known today as
  "The Father of Video Games."
• The obverse design features a dramatic representation of the Statue
  of Liberty in profile with the inscriptions “IN GOD WE TRUST” and “$1.”
• The reverse (tails) design depicts Ralph Baer’s brown box game
  “Handball” on the right side of the coin. The left side features “NEW
  HAMPSHIRE” and “PLAYER 1” on an incused background. The inscriptions
  “IN-HOME VIDEO GAME SYSTEM” and “RALPH BAER” encircle the coin in a text
  that is meant to pay homage to Baer’s Odyssey game. The additional
  inscription is "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA." The design is also symbolic
  of an arcade token.
