2024 Harriet Tubman Commemorative Silver Uncirculated Obverse
2024 Harriet Tubman Commemorative Silver Uncirculated Reverse
The U.S. Mint released the 2024 Harriet Tubman Silver Dollar as part of the Harriet Tubman Commemorative Coin Program. The program celebrated the bicentennial of Harriet Tubman's birth. The Mint struck $5 gold coins, $1 silver coins, and half dollar clad coins as part of the program. The designs follow the three periods of Tubmans' life and work.
The dollar designs reflect her work as a conductor on the Underground Railroad. Over a 10-year period, Tubman personally guided about 70 people from slavery to freedom. She provided instructions to approximately 70 additional people who found their way to freedom on their own.
The obverse (heads) depicts Harriet Tubman offering her hand to the viewer with an expression that challenges the viewer to seize the opportunity for freedom.
The reverse (tails) depicts silhouettes crossing a bridge created by a pair of clasped hands. In the sky, the Big Dipper constellation points to the North Star, which forms the “O” in the word “OF.”
