Great collectible coin for collectors and admirers of heros or the 20th Century.
Reverend Dr. Pauli Murray was a poet, writer, activist, lawyer, and priest. To this day, Murray is regarded as one of the most important social justice advocates of the twentieth century.
The coin’s reverse depicts Reverend Dr. Pauli Murray’s eyeglass-framed face within the shape of the word “HOPE,” which is symbolic of Murray’s belief that significant societal reforms were possible when rooted in hope.

PAULI MURRAY,” and “E PLURIBUS UNUM.”
