The Negro Leagues Baseball Commemorative Coins are being minted in honor of the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the Negro National League, a professional baseball league formed in response to African-American players being banned from the major leagues. The design of these coins per Public Law 116-209 states that the coins shall be emblematic of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum and its mission to promote tolerance, diversity, and inclusion.
Obverse: A depiction of a pitcher in mid-throw with the baseball in the foreground and baseball stitching as a border. Inscriptions are “IN GOD WE TRUST,” “2022,” and “LIBERTY.” A special privy mark is included on the left side of the coin’s obverse underneath the pitcher’s raised right knee. The centennial anniversary of the Negro Leagues is represented by “100,” with the stylized diamond shape alluding to a baseball diamond. The year 2020 marked the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the Negro National League.
Reverse: Depicts a player’s eye view of a pitch being delivered to the catcher at the plate. Inscriptions are “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “$1,” and “E PLURIBUS UNUM.”
