This commemorative coin was issued to celebrate the bicentenary of Methodism in America, 1784-1984. The coin depicts Thomas Coke (1747-1814), close associate of John Wesley and first bishop of the American Methodist Church. Soon after the Baltimore Conference of 1784, this became known as the Methodist Episcopal Church and is known today as the United Methodist Church.
