The Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC) will hold a three-hour public meeting via videoconference on Tuesday, Sept. 24, to review and discuss candidate designs for the 2025 coins and medals featuring DC Super Heroes, as well as two Congressional Gold Medals honoring Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley, and the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe Code Talkers.
The CCAC is tasked with advising the Secretary of the Treasury on themes and designs pertaining to all United States coins and medals.
Specifically, agenda topics for the CCAC meetings include reviewing and discussing candidate designs for the following:
- The 2025 Comic Art Super Heroes coins and medals
- The Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley Congressional Gold Medal
- The Lower Brule Sioux Tribe Code Talkers Congressional Medals
The Comic Art Super Heroes coins and medals program showcases a U.S. Mint licensing partnership with DC Comics. This series will feature nine iconic super heroes on 24-karat gold coins, .999 fine silver medals, and non-precious metal clad medals. Launching in 2025 with Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman, the collection will continue in 2026 and 2027 with six additional superheroes.
The Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley medal, authorized by Public Law 117-334, honors Emmett Till, who was brutally murdered at 14 in 1955 after being accused of offending a white woman in her family’s grocery store. The medal also recognizes his mother, Mamie Till-Mobley, for her courage and relentless pursuit of justice in a case that became a catalyst for the civil rights movement.
The Lower Brule Sioux Tribe Code Talkers medal is one of more than 30 medals authorized by Public Law 110-120, which was enacted to honor Native American Code Talkers who used their indigenous languages to transmit secret military communications during both World Wars.
