The Design
The Lady Liberty showcased in Adolph A. Weinman’s design in the obverse is a feminine figure walking toward the sun's rays with the American flag draped on her shoulder. She carries oak branches on her left arm and has her right arm stretched, as in a greeting sign.
The inscription “LIBERTY” arches over the image, “IN GOD WE TRUST” is engraved on the right on the right, and the year of mintage is at the bottom.
The reverse design features John Mercanti's original design from 1986. It displays the Heraldic Eagle with spread wings around the star-spangled shield on its chest.
The Eagle has arrows and olive branches in its talons and carries the “E PLURIBUS UNUM” banner in its beak. Thirteen stars aligned above it represent the Original Thirteen Colonies.
The words “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “1 OZ FINE SILVER,” and “ONE DOLLAR” encircle the image, and they describe the coin’s weight, metal content, and face value.
