Depicts the statue "The Concord Minute Man of 1775" against an outline of the state, accompanied by the state's nickname The Bay State.

In commemoration of the centenary of the first successful armed resistance to British forces, Daniel Chester French produced one of his best-known statues, the Concord Minute Man of 1775. According to the sculptor, the statue's likeness is based on the typical minuteman of the day.

Minutemen were private colonists who independently organized to form well-prepared militia companies self-trained in weaponry, tactics and military strategies from the American colonial partisan militia during the American Revolutionary War. They were also known for being ready in a minute's notice.
