Do you recognize the coin?

The coin minted and released in 2007 commemorated the 50th anniversary of the Little Rock Nine and their brave entrance into the Central High School in Little Rock.

The obverse of the coin shows the feet of nine people who were escorted and protected by the US Army under President Dwight D. Eisenhower's executive order 10730 as they entered their new high school.

This coin challenge showed the laced military boots and a small portion of the fatigues tucked into the boots.

In addition to selling the singular proof and uncirculated versions, the US Mint included a proof coin in the 2007 American Legacy Set.

You can learn more about the Little Rock historical site from the National Park Service on their Little Rock Central High School web site.

In our book, Days of Our Coins, the Little Rock Central High School Desegregation commemorative silver dollar coin is featured on August 19 (reverse) and September 24(obverse).
