The Artistry Behind the Coins
Obverse (All Coins): Each coin features a dramatic profile representation of the Statue of Liberty, symbolizing American freedom and the spirit of innovation. The inscriptions "IN GOD WE TRUST" and "$1" frame this iconic image, while a stylized gear privy mark represents industry and innovation. The year "2020," mint mark (P or D), and "E PLURIBUS UNUM" are incused on the edge of each coin.
Connecticut Reverse: The design depicts the Gerber Variable Scale in action, showing a geometric shape resembling Connecticut being enlarged by 200 percent. This innovative drafting tool revolutionized engineering and architectural design by allowing precise scaling of drawings. The imagery captures the mathematical precision and practical ingenuity that defined this Connecticut invention. Inscriptions read "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "GERBER VARIABLE SCALE," and "CONNECTICUT."
Massachusetts Reverse: A rotary dial telephone number wheel dominates the design, with the word "Tele-phone" elegantly positioned in the center. This iconic design celebrates Alexander Graham Bell's revolutionary invention that transformed human communication forever. The rotary dial evokes nostalgia while honoring the technological breakthrough that connected the world. Inscriptions include "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "Telephone," and "MASSACHUSETTS."
Maryland Reverse: The Hubble Space Telescope orbits Earth against a field of stars, capturing the majesty of space exploration and scientific discovery. This design honors Maryland's contribution to humanity's understanding of the universe through one of the most important astronomical instruments ever created. The telescope's graceful form and the surrounding cosmos inspire wonder and curiosity. Inscriptions read "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "THE HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE," and "MARYLAND."
South Carolina Reverse: The design pays tribute to Septima Poinsette Clark, the pioneering educator who linked literacy and political organizing during the civil rights movement. Born in Charleston in 1898, Clark was known as "Mother Conscience" and "The Mother of the Movement" by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This coin honors her transformative work empowering African Americans through education and civic engagement. Inscriptions include "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and "SOUTH CAROLINA."
