Harriet Tubman 2024 Uncirculated Silver Dollar Coin

Harriet Tubman is renowned for her vital role as a conductor on the Underground Railroad. After escaping slavery herself, she bravely returned to the South multiple times to lead others to freedom, providing guidance to many who sought their own paths.

In 1862, Tubman joined the Union Army as a nurse, taking on various 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 committed to advocating for justice. She was an active suffragist, championing women’s right to vote, and dedicated her efforts to providing care for newly freed people, both young and old. Harriet Tubman’s life exemplifies an unwavering commitment to freedom and equality in every aspect of American life.

The obverse design features Harriet Tubman extending her hand to the viewer, conveying a powerful invitation to seize the opportunity for freedom. Inscriptions on the coin include “HARRIET TUBMAN,” “LIBERTY,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and “2024.”

The reverse design showcases silhouettes crossing a bridge formed by a pair of clasped hands. Above, the Big Dipper constellation points to the North Star, which creatively serves as the “O” in the word “OF.” Inscriptions on the coin include “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” and “ONE DOLLAR.”
