Kelly J. McKay is the winner of the Commemorative Coin Contest honoring the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution. The contest, jointly sponsored by the Evansville Grove Society and the Eager Free Public Library, was to design a coin that depicts “what the 250th anniversary looks like” to the artist personally. McKay’s winning design features a stars-and-stripes birthday cake with candles and an open book labeled “Our Story.”
McKay’s design will be stamped on an antique brass, half-dollar sized coin that will be minted and available for distribution by the Evansville Grove Society as part of Evansville’s Fourth of July celebration.
