The coin being used for the coin toss is modified off a coin designed by Benjamin Franklin after the revolutionary war. As a commemorative.


A medal called the Libertas Americana, commissioned by Benjamin Franklin to celebrate American independence and honor France’s role in the Revolutionary War. A modern restrike of that medal, produced by the Paris Mint in 2015, will be used in the coin toss before the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks meet in Super Bowl 60.

The medal features the profile of Lady Liberty with long, flowing hair and is stamped with the date “4 Juil 1776.” The NFL chose the medal to tie in with America’s celebration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

Interesting fact they mentioned when Darnold took the field. Hebis the first USC QB to start in Super Bowl. I was surprised by that fact.
Imagine that. Historically, Penn State has had minimal impact at qb in the NFL but even they have had a quarterback starting a Super Bowl.
