The Artistry Behind the Coin
Obverse: A dramatic, modern profile of the Statue of Liberty captures the spirit of American innovation and freedom. Lady Liberty's flowing lines and bold presence command attention, with the inscriptions "IN GOD WE TRUST" and "$1" elegantly integrated into the design. This contemporary interpretation brings fresh energy to an iconic American symbol.
Reverse: The reverse tells the story of Georgia's agricultural experimentation through vivid imagery. A hand plants seeds into soil inscribed with "TRUSTEES' GARDEN," from which springs a lush variety of botanical specimens—orange tree seedlings, sassafras, grapes, white mulberry, flax, peaches, olive, and emerging shoots. Each plant represents the diverse species tested in Oglethorpe's ten-acre experimental garden. The inscriptions "GEORGIA" and "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" frame this celebration of scientific curiosity and agricultural ambition that defined early colonial innovation.
Why Collectors Choose This Piece
The 2019 Georgia Innovation Dollar represents a pivotal moment in American agricultural history. James Oglethorpe's Trustees' Garden wasn't just a farm—it was a laboratory where colonists tested plants from around the world to determine which crops would thrive in Georgia's unique climate. This scientific approach to agriculture reflected the Enlightenment-era thinking that drove colonial progress and commercial success.
