This bill, titled the "Roberto Clemente Commemorative Coin Act," directs the Secretary of the Treasury to mint and issue commemorative coins honoring the life and legacy of baseball legend and humanitarian, Roberto Clemente. The program would include three denominations: up to 50,000 $5 gold coins, up to 400,000 $1 silver coins, and up to 750,000 half-dollar clad coins. These coins are to be issued in uncirculated and proof qualities during a one-year period beginning January 1, 2027 . The designs for these coins must be emblematic of Clemente's life, encompassing his human rights activism and baseball stardom, with at least one obverse design featuring his image. Each coin will include inscriptions such as "Roberto Clemente," its value, the year "2027," and national mottos. The Secretary will select designs after consulting with the Roberto Clemente Foundation , Clemente's living family members, and the Commission of Fine Arts, with review by the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee. Sales of these commemorative coins will include surcharges: $35 for each $5 coin, $10 for each $1 coin, and $5 for each half-dollar coin. These surcharges will be paid to the Roberto Clemente Foundation to support its general expenses, including educational programs, youth sports, and disaster relief. A key provision ensures that the minting and issuance of these coins will not incur any net cost to the United States Government, as all design and issuance costs must be recovered by the Treasury before any surcharges are disbursed to the Foundation.
