Modern commemorative coins are special editions minted to honor significant events, individuals, or themes in history. The United States Mint, for instance, has produced a series of modern commemoratives since 1982, including the 1989 Denver-minted One Dollar coin. This specific coin was issued to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the United States Congress and features unique designs that reflect the commemorative theme. Collectors often seek these coins for their artistic merit and limited production runs.
