Read. Remember. Rise.
This Black History Month Centennial Commemorative Coin honors 100 years of Black history through the power of knowledge, voice, and self-expression.
It celebrates learning as liberation, identity as strength, and history as something both inherited and fought for.
This is not a quiet piece.
It is a statement.
Front Design – “Knowledge as Freedom”
![]()
The front of the coin features a high-relief portrait of a young Black woman reading, captured in a moment of calm focus and inner strength. Seated against a softly textured American flag background, she represents the freedom to learn, to imagine, and to define one’s own future.
Her expression is thoughtful and grounded — a reminder that resistance does not always shout; sometimes it studies, prepares, and endures.
Engraved details include:
-
BLACK HISTORY MONTH along the top rim
-
CENTENNIAL 1926–2026 along the bottom
-
Laurel wreaths symbolizing honor, growth, and achievement
The antique gold and bronze tones give the figure warmth, realism, and emotional depth.
Back Design – “Identity Unchained”

The reverse side delivers a bold, contemporary message.
At the center, the words BLACK History appear in raised lettering, partially wrapped in broken chains, symbolizing freedom claimed rather than granted. Above, a raised clenched fist stands as a universal sign of resistance, strength, and solidarity.
Below, fragmented imagery emerges from a cracked surface:
-
A powerful portrait of a Black woman
-
Vibrant lips painted in Pan-African colors
-
Textured layers representing voice, culture, and self-expression
This side reflects the complexity of Black identity — resilient, creative, unapologetic, and unbroken.
