The US Mint made their first ever curved coin to honor the Baseball Hall of Fame. This is an unusual design element that fits very well with the theme of this coin.
The concave side of the coin fits ideally with the design of a baseball glove. The glove is a detailed design that has the stitching and creases like a glove would have. The glove is so detailed you can see the texture of the cowhide leather across the glove’s surface. In the middle of the glove it has ‘LIBERTY’ and ‘IN GOD WE TRUST’. Below this text is ‘2014’.
On the convex side of the coin is a design that makes the whole side look like a baseball. This design has the iconic stitching that is found on a baseball. This coupled with the convex design really makes it feel just like a baseball. ‘IN GOD WE TRUST” and ‘E PLURIBUS UNUM’. At the bottom of this side is ‘5 DOLLARS”, the face value of this coin. To the bottom left is a ‘W’ for the West Point Mint.
