2021 American Innovation 1 Dollar Coin, North Carolina, America's First Public University, P.D. Random Mint

 [Product Description]

 This is the North Carolina edition of the American Innovation $1 coin series, issued in 2021.

 This coin celebrates the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the development of public higher education in the United States. Founded in 1795, the university is known as the only public institution of higher education in the United States to award degrees during the 18th century.

 The American Innovation One Dollar Coin Program is a multi-year series that showcases significant inventions, innovations, and groundbreaking individuals and organizations associated with the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and five territories. Each coin features a different design representing a theme symbolic of its region, allowing collectors to trace the development of American industry, science, education, technology, and culture through the coins.

 The North Carolina version features a calm and intellectual design that symbolizes the philosophy of public universities to open education to the whole community and how knowledge is passed on to the next generation.

 [Surface design]

 The surface features an impressive portrait of the Statue of Liberty, viewed from the side.

 The Statue of Liberty holds a torch in her right hand and a tablet in her left. The words "IN GOD WE TRUST" and the number "$1" representing the amount are inscribed around her.

 At the bottom is the Privy mark, featuring a gear motif symbolizing industry and innovation. This Statue of Liberty design is used consistently across the American Innovation $1 coin series.

 [Back design]

 On the back, three textbooks are stacked, and the words "FIRST PUBLIC UNIVERSITY" are engraved on the spine of the middle book.

 On top of the book sits the "Lamp of Knowledge," symbolizing knowledge, learning, and education, flanked on either side by olive branches representing peace and honor.

 The words "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and "NORTH CAROLINA" are placed around it. It is a symbolic design commemorating the development of society through education and the early days of public higher education in America.

 The reverse side was designed by Ronald D. Sanders, and the engraving was done by Joseph Mena.
