Letter
Dear Mr. Hollis:
Upon request by the United States Mint, the Commission of Fine Arts reviewed via email candidate designs for the Freedom 250 Grand Prix Roger Penske Medal, which is intended to commemorate the upcoming IndyCar race to be held on August 22 in Washington, D.C., as well as the legacy of motorsport pioneer Roger Penske. Based on their review of the submitted design alternatives, the Commission members have voted by poll to recommend obverse #5 and reverse #3, consistent with the preferences of the honoree and the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee.
This recommendation will be placed on the administrative agenda for formal confirmation at the Commission’s next public meeting. As always, the staff is available to assist you with future submissions.
Sincerely,
Thomas E. Luebke, FAIA
/s/Secretary
Paul Hollis, Director
