George Rogers Clark is the older brother of William Clark, the man who charted the unknown lands gained by the United States with the Louisiana Purchase alongside Meriwether Lewis. While the younger Clark is remembered in history books and discussed by millions of American school children, the elder Clark flew under the radar. His exploits are, however, no less impressive.

George Rogers Clark is honored with a national historical site in Vincennes, Indiana, for his exploits in the Illinois Campaign of the Revolutionary War. In 1778 and 1779, Clark was a Lieutenant Colonel and led his men on a shocking winter march along the Missouri River to attack the British position at Fort Sackville. Clark and his men landed a surprise victory against the British in the campaign that culminated in the sacking of the fort.
On the reverse of 2017-P 5 oz Burnished Silver ATB George Rogers Clark National Historical Park Coins is the image of Clark as he leads his men into battle. His victory over the British in the Illinois Campaign is regarded as one of the most significant American achievements of the entire war.

The Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army and the first President of the United States of America, this 1932 design from John Flanagan is based on a 1786 sculpting of Washington by William Cousins.
