Comments
The United States Mint issued gold and silver coins to commemorate the life and legacy of Mark Twain. Born Samuel Langhorne Clemens, the author and humorist is world renowned for works including The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. The author was previously honored on one of the American Arts Gold Medallions struck by the US Mint in 1981. There had been multiple attempts to pass legislation honoring the author on a commemorative coin as early as 2010. Public Law 112-201 would finally authorize the program for issuance in 2016.
