Amazingly Detailed Commemorative Design
Obverse: The obverse depicts the batter’s view of the pitcher, immediately following a pitch, as the ball speeds forward and the pitcher maintains his balance after the powerful throw. In the background, the inscriptions “LIBERTY,” “IN GOD WE TRUST” and “2022” surround a circular frame which emulates the iconic stitching of a baseball.
Reverse: The reverse features a view of home plate as seen through the eyes of the pitcher, depicting a batter wearing a Kansas City Monarchs cap with his eye on the approaching ball, the catcher prepared with his glove lifted, and the umpire with his gaze focused on the strike zone. Inscriptions include “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” and “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” along with the coin’s denomination of “$1.”
