🔹️ A Double-Anniversary Mystery: Although Thomas Jefferson was born in 1743 (making 1993 his exact 250th anniversary), these coins weren\'t actually released to the public until 1994 due to legislative scheduling delays. Looking at the coin, the obverse features his birth year (1743) and the anniversary year (1993), despite the actual striking year being 1994!
🔹️The Renaissance Man: The obverse text reads \"Thomas Jefferson • Architect of Democracy,\" a nod not just to his political achievements as the author of the Declaration of Independence, but also to his immense skill as a self-taught architect who personally designed Monticello and the University of Virginia
🔹️The Stuart Connection: The coin’s portrait is based directly on Gilbert Stuart’s famous 1805 medallion painting. Jefferson loved this specific portrait so much that he kept it prominently displayed on the walls of Monticello for the rest of his life📦 Shipping & Handling
