2022 - Negro Leagues Baseball Proof Silver Dollar Coin and Jackie Robinson Silver Medal Set

The Negro Leagues Baseball Commemorative Coins are being minted in honor of the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the Negro National League, a professional baseball league formed in response to African-American players being banned from the major leagues. Public Law 116-209, which authorized the commemorative coin program, requires the coins to be emblematic of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum and its mission to promote tolerance, diversity, and inclusion.
The Jackie Robinson silver medal carries the same design as the Jackie Robinson Congressional Gold Medal produced by the United States Mint in 2003 in accordance with Public Law 108-101, which honored Robinson as a baseball great, civil rights leader, and political activist.
