Coin Designs
The obverse (heads side) design of the 2020 US Basketball Half Dollar features three different figures all reaching for the ball in unison, suggesting how the sport has brought together millions of diverse people around the world through a simple, universal, and unifying athletic experience. Their arms are intentionally elongated, just slightly, to emphasize the full exertion of physical and mental effort required to excel in the game. The rim and net are presented as subtle background elements to complement the primary figures. Inscriptions are: "LIBERTY", "IN GOD WE TRUST" and "2020".
The reverse (tails) design depicts a basketball about to pass through a net. Inscriptions are "E PLURIBUS UNUM", "HALF DOLLAR" and "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA".
