| Obverse description | The obverse features a high-relief scene depicting two armed U.S. soldiers in military uniform flanking two Black civilians, evoking the 1957 Little Rock school integration crisis. Protesters holding signs are visible in the left background, with a building rendered in relief on the right. The legend 'RIGHTS OF BLACKS PROTECTED' arcs along the upper border, with 'SEPTEMBER, 1957' inscribed along the lower border, both separated from the central field by a raised rim; four five-pointed stars punctuate the border at the cardinal positions. |
