Knowledge Is Freedom. Dreams Begin in Silence.

This Black History Month Centennial Commemorative Coin honors 100 years of Black history through the most powerful force of all—knowledge.
It celebrates the freedom to learn, to imagine, and to pass wisdom forward across generations.

Every element of this coin is intentional. Every symbol speaks.

Front Design – “Dream Free”

The front of the coin presents a deeply moving high-relief scene:
a young Black girl seated with a book held close, her face partially hidden as she reads in quiet focus.

This image represents:

• Freedom found through education

• Dreams formed in moments of stillness

• Strength built through self-knowledge

The surrounding inscriptions read:

• BLACK HISTORY MONTH (top rim)

• CENTENNIAL 1926–2026 (bottom rim)

• DREAM and FREE flanking the figure

Laurel wreaths frame the design, symbolizing honor, growth, and achievement.
The antique gold and bronze tones give the sculpture warmth, depth, and emotional weight.

Back Design – “Built by Knowledge”

The reverse side transforms knowledge into form.

A profile portrait of a young woman emerges from a flowing structure of stacked books, her hair and foundation literally built from learning and history. The books represent accumulated wisdom—stories read, lessons learned, voices preserved.

Raised inscriptions include:

• BLACK HISTORY

• HISTORY

The composition powerfully conveys a simple truth:
identity is shaped by knowledge, and the future is built on what we choose to remember.
