The 2021 United States Mint Silver Proof Set includes the following coins:
The final quarter in the America the Beautiful Quarters® Program series
honoring the Tuskegee Airmen National Historic Site in Alabama. The
reverse design depicts a Tuskegee Airman pilot suiting up to join the
fight during World War II with the Moton Field control tower in the
background. The pilot looks upward with pride and confidence as two P-
51 Mustangs pass overhead. The inscription “THEY FOUGHT TWO WARS” is
arced across the top as a reference to the dual battles the Tuskegee
Airmen fought – fascism abroad and racial discrimination at home.
Inscriptions are “TUSKEGEE AIRMEN,” “ALABAMA,” “2021,” and “E PLURIBUS
UNUM.”
One General George Washington Crossing the Delaware Quarter
featuring an obverse (heads) design that marks a return to the familiar
depiction of George Washington by John Flanagan as it appeared on the
quarter from 1932 to 1998. The image was modified for the 50 State
Quarters, the DC and U.S. Territories Quarters, and the America the
Beautiful Quarters Programs. In this revived depiction, Washington’s
portrait is larger and with higher relief. Inscriptions are “LIBERTY,”
“IN GOD WE TRUST,” and “2021.” The reverse (tails) design features
General George Washington commanding his troops through the overnight
crossing of the ice-choked Delaware River prior to the Battle of Trenton
during the American Revolutionary War. Inscriptions are “UNITED STATES
OF AMERICA,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” “CROSSING THE DELAWARE,” and “QUARTER
DOLLAR.”
One Native American $1 Coin
with the latest reverse
(tails) design in the series. The 2021 design honors Native American
military service. This reverse design features two eagle feathers, which
were traditionally earned in battle or by performing a brave deed.
Eagle feathers are revered, receiving the utmost care and handling, and
are to be displayed proudly in homes. Stars representing five branches
of the U.S. Military are in the foreground. A circle, a symbol with deep
meaning to Native Americans, connects all the elements. Inscriptions
include “NATIVE AMERICANS – DISTINGUISHED MILITARY SERVICE SINCE 1775,”
“$1,” and “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.”
