Owner Comments:
A commission established by Puerto Rico Governor Aníbal Acevedo-Vilá and chaired by the director of the Puerto Rico Culture Institute developed two reverse design narratives emblematic of the territory—the sentry box and one featuring the Palacio de Santa Catalina (Santa Catalina Palace), today the official residence of the governor. These narratives were forwarded to the United States Mint for the production of artistic renderings, which were then proposed to the commonwealth. Governor Acevedo-Vilá recommended the sentry box design, and the Secretary of the Treasury approved it on July 31, 2008.
