The Artistry Behind the Coins
Obverse (Common to All Four Coins): A dramatic profile of the Statue of Liberty commands attention, her torch held high as a beacon of freedom and innovation. The inscriptions "IN GOD WE TRUST" and "$1" frame this iconic symbol of American ideals. The edge of each coin features incused inscriptions including the year "2019," the "D" mint mark, and "E PLURIBUS UNUM."
Delaware Reverse - Annie Jump Cannon: The silhouette of pioneering astronomer Annie Jump Cannon appears against a star-filled night sky, honoring her revolutionary stellar classification system still used by astronomers worldwide. Inscriptions read "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "ANNIE JUMP CANNON," "CLASSIFYING THE STARS," and "DELAWARE."
Pennsylvania Reverse - Polio Vaccine: A powerful tribute to Dr. Jonas Salk's life-saving polio vaccine, developed at the University of Pennsylvania in the early 1950s. This innovation freed generations of children from a devastating disease that once paralyzed thousands annually.
New Jersey Reverse - Electric Light Bulb: Thomas Edison's revolutionary light bulb illuminates the reverse, symbolizing how this New Jersey innovation transformed society by extending productive hours beyond daylight and reshaping infrastructure, business, and daily life across the globe.
Georgia Reverse - Trustees' Garden: The design honors James Oglethorpe's Trustees' Garden, established in Savannah in 1734 as one of America's first agricultural experimental gardens. This ten-acre laboratory tested plants from around the world, reflecting the scientific ambition that would define American agriculture.
