"The beloved Benjamin Franklin, who appears on this coin, was a world-famous writer, philosopher, and statesman who did much to shape the United States during its birth as a nation. He is the first person shown on a modern United States coin who did not serve as president. This coin, along with the Roosevelt dime, was designed by Mint engraver John R. Sinnock.
