The modification was autorized by special legislation, and carried out by Mint sculptor-engraver William Cousins, whose initials were added to the truncation of Washinton's neck adjacent to those of the original designer, John Flanagan. The Governor approved theme of the coin, The Minuteman. Which features the likeness of the celebrated Minuteman of the American Revolution against an outline of the state. The Bay State.
