Up for auction is a 1997 Jackie Robinson Commemorative Silver dollar issued by the US Mint.

The 1997 Jackie Robinson Silver Dollar was issued in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of his appearance in a major league baseball game as the first black player. Relatively lower mintages support higher secondary market premiums for the issue.

The obverse of the silver dollar portrays Jackie Robinson sliding into home plate. This recalls when he stole home plate in a 1955 World Series game. The inscriptions include "Liberty", "In God We Trust", and the date "1997".

The reverse of the coin displays the logo of the Jackie Robinson Foundation. Inscriptions include "United States of America", "E Pluribus Unum", and "One Dollar". Two accomplishments are also inscribed "Rookie of the Year 1947" and  "Hall of Fame 1962".

The coin is housed in a protective plastic encasement, and comes with a jewel box (within an additional box) and includes the certificate of authenticity.
