The Design
The Eisenhower Dollar design is a creation of Chief Engraver Frank Gasparro from the US Mint.
As the moniker suggests, the obverse honors WWII General and later President Dwight Eisenhower, portraying his left-profile bust along with the word “LIBERTY” engraved on top, “IN GOD WE TRUST” on the left, and the year of issuance at the bottom.
Between 1971-1974, reverse celebrates the 1969 Apollo 11 Mission to the moon. It features the Bald Eagle carrying olive branches and flying over the moon’s surface, from where we can see the small planet Earth aside.
The image also displays the Mission’s emblem, the inscriptions “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” and the coin’s face value of “ONE DOLLAR".
In 1976, to celebrate the bicentennial of the United States’ independence, the US Mint released a special reverse design with the Liberty Bell superposed above the moon.
By purchasing this item, you may receive either the Apollo 11 Mission design or the 1776-1976 Liberty Bell design.
