This Silver Dollar Commemorative Proof Coin is one of only two produced by the US Mint in 2007. The Central High School Desegregation 50th Anniversary Proof Coin will be available for a limited time only!
The obverse (heads side) of the silver dollar, designed by United States Mint Artistic Infusion Program Master Designer Richard Masters and sculpted by United States Mint Sculptor-Engraver Charles Vickers, depicts the feet of students escorted by a United States soldier and walking toward school below a row of nine stars symbolizing the Little Rock Nine. In 1957, the Little Rock Nine were the first African-American students to attend Little Rock Central High School. The reverse (tails side) of the silver dollar, designed and sculpted by United States Mint Sculptor-Engraver Don Everhart, depicts Little Rock Central High School, circa 1957.
