2021 Tuskegee Airmen Twenty-five cents MS PL 5oz Silver Values
Details
Obverse: The obverse features an enlargement of the traditional Washington quarter of the same year, only enlarged for the larger diameter of the coin itself.
Reverse: The reverse (tails) design depicts a Tuskegee Airman pilot suiting up to join the fight during World War II with the Moton Field control tower in the background. The pilot looks upward with pride and confidence as two P-51 Mustangs pass overhead. The inscription “THEY FOUGHT TWO WARS” is arced across the top as a reference to the dual battles the Tuskegee Airmen fought–fascism abroad and racial discrimination at home.
