The 2022 Negro Leagues Baseball Commemorative Coin Program celebrates the establishment of the Negro National League, the first successful, organized professional African American baseball league in the United States. The Mint struck $5 gold coins, $1 silver coins, and half dollar clad coins with different designs as part of the program.
The Negro National League was formed in 1920 in Kansas City, Missouri in response to African American baseball players being banned from the major leagues. Other leagues formed across the country. The league was formed with former player Rube Foster as its president.
There is also a special privy mark silver dollar available (in Proof finish only). Its obverse includes a privy mark commemorating the 100th anniversary of Negro Leagues Baseball in 2020. The privy mark appears below the pitcher’s knee.
