Program is a multi-year series featuring distinctive reverse
(tails) designs that pay homage to America's ingenuity and
celebrate the pioneering efforts of individuals or groups from all

Columbia, and the U.S. territories.
New Hampshire's $1 Coin recognizes Ralph

coin's reverse depicts Baer's brown box game "Handball" on the
right side of the coin, with the inscription "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA." The left side of
the coin features the inscriptions "NEW
HAMPSHIRE" and "PLAYER 1" on an incused background. "IN HOME
VIDEO GAME SYSTEM" and "RALPH BAER"
encircle the outside of the coin in a text that is meant to pay
homage to Ralph Baer's Odyssey game.
The design is also symbolic of an arcade token.
The obverse (heads) of American Innovation $1 Coins features a dramatic representation of
the Statue of Liberty in profile with the inscriptions "IN GOD WE
TRUST" and "$1." The obverse also
includes a privy mark of a stylized gear, representing industry and
innovation.
The year of minting or issuance, the mint mark, and "E PLURIBUS
UNUM" are incused on the edge of the coin.
