When Roger Bannister ran a mile in less than four minutes in May 1954 it was not merely a remarkable sporting achievement, it was a triumph of the human spirit. The coin design, which does not focus on Roger Bannister the man, is symbolic of running a race. In its sculptured grace it is concerned with his outstanding achievement and the strength of the human spirit.
