| 2009 Louis Braille Bicentennial Silver Dollar, Choice Proof, PR63 |
|
Description: |
This 2009 dollar struck in 90% silver celebrates the 200th anniversary of Louis Braille’s birth. Prior to his famed invention, learning tools for the blind were limited to hard-to-read books that were expensive to make. Sightless since age 4, Louis Braille was just 15 years old when he developed a system that uses six raised dots to represent letters for the blind. This simplified form of the military’s complex “night writing” is still used by the seeing-impaired today.
Plus, this is the first American coin to feature readable braille! A bold portrait of Louis Braille appears on the obverse, while the reverse shows a blind child reading. Above, the word braille is featured in code (in its abbreviated form, Brl). No more than 500,000 of these one-year-only Proofs will ever be issued. Comes presented in an official U.S. Mint display case; reserve yours today.
