Shaquille O'Neal was drafted first overall by the Orlando Magic in the 1992 NBA draft. O'Neal, a center from Louisiana State University (LSU), was the first overall pick in the draft.

This coin is a 1992 American Silver Eagle. Director Robert W. Woolley invited three noted sculptors-Hermon A. MacNeil, Albin Polasek, and Adolph A. Weinman, all of New York City-to prepare designs for the three silver coins, apparently with the intention of awarding a different coin to each artist. For the obverse of A.A. Weinman chose a full-length figure of Liberty striding toward the dawn of a new day, clad in the Stars and Stripes and carrying branches of laurel and oak symbolizing civil and military glory. The reverse depicts a majestic eagle, wings unfolded in a pose suggesting power beneath the thirteen stars originating from the thirteen colonies.
