2025 Heritage Series - Mark Twain and Joan of Arc Color Silver Coins - A Spiritual Resonance Across Time

The whimsical humorist and luminary of France

Mark Twain, a prominent American writer and humorist of the 19th century, was renowned for his satirical humor and critical observations of American society. Joan of Arc, a national hero of France, led the French army to victory against the English during the Hundred Years' War in the 15th century. Mark Twain held Joan of Arc in extremely high regard, considering her "the most extraordinary person the human race has ever produced." He spent 12 years researching her life and published the novel "Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc" in 1896. The novel portrays Joan's journey from a peasant girl to the leader of the French army, praising her courage, integrity, and faith. Twain's interest in Joan of Arc stemmed partly from his sympathy towards feminism. He viewed Joan as a woman who broke gender stereotypes, proving that women could achieve greatness just as men could.

Mark Twain and Joan of Arc, one an American master of humor, the other a French national hero, appear to be completely unrelated. Yet, they have left a profound mark on each other's lives. Mark Twain's admiration and praise for Joan of Arc not only reflect his sympathy for feminism but also demonstrate his pursuit of the finer qualities of humanity.
