In today's New Britain Herald there's an article on a proposed Mark Twain coin that would be minted in gold ($5) and silver ($1) in 2013.
My suggestions for the reverse side of the coin, since I assume its face will be HIS face:
Tom Sawyer
Huck Finn
A raft
A steamboat
A solar eclipse
A jumpin' frog
A picket fence (preferably half-painted)
A bunch of book banners

From a colleague at CCSU:
ReplyDelete"So here's my Twain vote:
Huck withouth Jim? No!
A comet would be appropriate.
A jay, acorn, and knot-hole would be the best."
