Struck in 1997, this five-dollar gold legal tender coin honors a monumental moment in sports and social history. The piece marks the fiftieth anniversary of Jackie Robinson breaking barriers in Major League Baseball during his debut season in 1947.

The obverse of the coin displays a detailed three-quarter profile of Jackie Robinson, designed by artist William Cousins. Surrounding the portrait are the inscriptions LIBERTY, IN GOD WE TRUST, and the year of issue, 1997. The West Point mintmark is also clearly visible on this side. On the reverse, a baseball takes center stage, symbolizing the arena where Robinson made his historic impact. The design is paired with the meaningful inscription Legacy of Courage, alongside the years 1919 to 1972, which represent the lifespan of this legendary athlete and civil rights figure.
