Introduced March 3, 2025 by Adriano J. Espaillat · Last progress 1 year ago
Authorizes the U.S. Mint to issue three commemorative coins in 2027 honoring Roberto Clemente, with designs that reflect his baseball career and humanitarian work. The coins will be a $5 gold coin, a $1 silver coin, and a half‑dollar clad coin, each struck in proof and uncirculated finishes and within set mintage limits.
Coins will be sold at prices that cover face value, a set surcharge, and all production and program costs. Surcharges collected will go to the Roberto Clemente Foundation for its mission-related work, but only after the Treasury has fully recovered program costs, ensuring no net cost to taxpayers. Designs will be chosen in consultation with named stakeholders and reviewed by the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee.
