• Raised by abolitionist parents on family farm in upstate New York
• Only second woman to receive a medical degree in America; the year was 1855 and she was 22
• Mary volunteered her medical services to the Union Army during the Civil War
• Awarded the Medal of Honor in 1865
• Favored the dress-and-trouser combination known as bloomers, switching to men's clothing after the war – a move that drew public criticism
• Reverse shows Dr. Walker holding her pocket surgical kit, with the Medal of Honor on her uniform, and surgeon's pin at her collar
• Designed and sculpted by Phebe Hemphill, U. S. Mint Medallic Artist
• Vibrantly enhanced in full color by Littleton
