2022-P Negro Leagues Baseball Commem Silver Proof (w/ Privy, OGP)

This modern silver dollar, struck at the Philadelphia Mint, serves as a numismatic tribute to the founding of the Negro National League. As the pioneering professional baseball league for African American players, its legacy is captured in fine silver. The coin is minted from 0.999 pure silver, containing 0.8595 troy ounces of precious metal, and is finished in a stunning proof condition. The visual narrative of the coin celebrates the dynamic energy of the game. On the obverse, a pitcher is depicted mid-throw, set against a background of baseball stitching and featuring a distinct privy mark. The reverse side shifts the perspective to the batter's box, showing a player poised and waiting for the incoming pitch. This side also displays the one dollar denomination. Legible inscriptions on the coin include the classic mottos LIBERTY and IN GOD WE TRUST, alongside the year of issue, 2022. This piece offers a wonderful opportunity to explore how sports history and American numismatics intersect through thoughtful design.
