Obverse

On the obverse, you’ll find a dignified portrait of President Roosevelt, known for his comforting “fireside chats” – radio broadcasts where he spoke directly to the American people during crises such as the Great Depression and World War II.

Reverse

The reverse design features Sinnock’s portrayal of a lit torch, flanked by olive and oak branches. The olive branch symbolizes peace, while the oak branch signifies strength and achievement.

History

Roosevelt was president when the United States entered World War II following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. His response to the attack, including his famous “Day of Infamy” speech delivered to Congress the next day, galvanized the nation’s resolve to enter the war.
