Bill 118 s 5408, also known as the Roberto Clemente Commemorative Coin Act, is a proposed piece of legislation that would require the Secretary of the Treasury to mint commemorative coins in honor of the life and legacy of Roberto Clemente.

Roberto Clemente was a legendary Puerto Rican baseball player who played for the Pittsburgh Pirates in Major League Baseball.

These coins would likely feature images of Clemente and other symbols related to his life and legacy. If passed, the Roberto Clemente Commemorative Coin Act would be a fitting tribute to a man who is remembered not only for his athletic achievements, but also for his dedication to helping others in need.
