On the reverse, John Mercanti, Chief Engraver of the US Mint, presents the Heraldic Eagle, adorned with the National Shield on its chest, arrows and olive branches in its talons, and a banner with "E PLURIBUS UNUM" in its beak. The stars above the eagle symbolize the Thirteen Original Colonies. 

The inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "1 OZ FINE SILVER," and "ONE DOLLAR" denote the coin's face value, weight, metal content, and purity.
