Introduced in 2018 and authorized by Public Law 115-197, the
American Innovation® $1 Coin Program
is a multi-year series featuring distinctive reverse (tails)
designs that pay homage to America's ingenuity and celebrate the
pioneering efforts of individuals or groups from all 50 states, the
District of Columbia, and the U.S.
territories.
The 2022 American Innovation Kentucky $1 Coin design recognizes the invention of
bluegrass music. Bluegrass has roots in traditional English,
Scottish, and Irish ballads and dance tunes, as well as in
traditional African American blues and jazz. The reverse (tails)
design features a banjo, an important bluegrass instrument, tilted
to one side, alluding to the rhythm and movement of the music.
Inscriptions are "UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA," "BLUEGRASS," and "KENTUCKY." The design was created by United
States Mint Artistic Infusion Program (AIP) Designer Christina Hess
and sculpted by Mint Medallic Artist Renata Gordon.
The obverse (heads) of all coins in this series features a
dramatic representation of the Statue of Liberty in profile with the inscriptions "IN
GOD WE TRUST" and "$1." It also
includes a privy mark of a stylized gear, representing industry and
innovation. AIP Designer Justin Kunz created the design, which was
sculpted by Mint Medallic Artist Phebe Hemphill.
Incused on the coin's edge are "2022," the mint mark, and "E
PLURIBUS UNUM."
