Both faces of the coin feature simple, yet poignant designs. John Mercanti crated the design for the obverse, which features Crispus Attucks, the first American killed in the Revolutionary War. Attucks faces slightly to the right of the holder, and his name is inscribed to the right, along with the years of his life, “1723-1770.” While the initials on the reverse belong to U.S. Mint Sculptor-Engraver Thomas D. Rogers, Ed Dwight created the design for the reverse. It features five African-American figures dressed in clothing that was popular during the time of the Revolution and represents the contributions of African Americans to that effort. It is the design of the proposed memorial, which has still not been built. This coin has an actual silver weight of .7734 Troy oz. and is .9000 pure silver.
