CHARLOTTE — Juneteenth Unlimited, LLC is introducing the release of a commemorative coin to celebrate a new Federal holiday – Juneteenth – inspired by the African Diaspora, Black American history, and the fight for freedom.

Bennettsville native Beverly David Robinson is the owner of Juneteenth Unlimited. She designed the Juneteenth Commemorative Coin 2021 and is committed to honoring the past while creating a brighter future.

Robinson hopes that all Americans will acknowledge the significance and power that Juneteenth holds.

“Precious metals have proven to have financial stability throughout history,” she said. “This coin will hold its value for present and future generations. It’s time to rejoice and celebrate history with one of these cherished coins.”

Made of one troy ounce of .999 fine silver, this inspirational coin is for anyone who wants a valuable keepsake to memorialize this significant new holiday. June 19, 1865, marks the date that the last known African-American slaves were freed. As a result, it’s become one of the most important days in African-American history.

“This commemorative coin will honor and remember the history of the trans-Atlantic slavery system. What makes it a fascinating coin is the use of a Swahili word – Nahuona: “I see you.”

Robinson said careful thought and consideration were put into the use of this word. The concept may present one of the best ways to acknowledge empathy and compassion for our ancestors and for all humanity.

Juneteenth Unlimited is also delighted to use a West African Kente textile art design. The reverse side has an image of Frederick Douglass, a former slave who became a famed abolitionist.
