Harriet Tubman 2024 Proof Silver Dollar Coin

Harriet Tubman is renowned for her extraordinary role as a conductor of the Underground Railroad. After escaping slavery, she bravely returned to the South numerous times to guide others to freedom, providing invaluable support to those seeking their own paths to liberation. Tubman’s commitment to justice didn’t stop there. In 1862, she joined the Union Army as a nurse and took on multiple roles, including army scout and spy. Notably, she became the first woman to lead an armed expedition during the Civil War—the Combahee River Raid—which resulted in the liberation of over 700 enslaved individuals.

After the Civil War, Tubman remained a fierce advocate for the causes she believed in. She actively supported women’s suffrage, speaking out for their right to vote, and dedicated herself to caring for newly freed people, both young and old. Harriet Tubman’s life was marked by her relentless pursuit of freedom in all areas of American life.

The obverse design features Harriet Tubman extending her hand toward the viewer, her expression inviting and challenging them to seize the opportunity for freedom. The inscriptions include “HARRIET TUBMAN,” “LIBERTY,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and “2024.”

The reverse design illustrates silhouettes crossing a bridge formed by clasped hands. Above, the Big Dipper constellation points to the North Star, which creatively forms the “O” in the word “OF.” The inscriptions include “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” and “ONE DOLLAR.”
