June 19, now known as Juneteenth, marks our country’s second Independence Day and serves as a reminder of the fight endured to end slavery in the United States. Join us in commemorating Juneteenth with our collection of African American Coins and Medals. From civil rights activists like Harriet Tubman to historical events like the 1965 Selma to Montgomery Voting Rights Marches, this collection honors the courage and determination of black American trailblazers who helped shaped our Nation.
