The obverse of the coin features Augustus Saint-Guadens’ acclaimed rendition of Lady Liberty. This classical portrayal of the beloved icon depicts her in an ancient toga with her long hair, billowing in the wind. She stands atop a mountain summit overlooking the Capitol building, much like the gods of Mt. Olympus. With her left hand bearing a torch and her right hand holding an olive branch, she represents the ideals of enlightenment and peace that result from freedom of thought. Also emphasizing the optimism of this image are the beams of light radiating behind her.
The reverse side of the coin displays yet another celebrated US icon, the bald eagle. It is seen proudly soaring through the clear skies above the radiant sun. From the intense focus of its eyes to its powerful wings, Saint-Gaudens has exercised great care in providing a dignified portrayal of the national bird. Equally as impressive is the detailed texture of the eagle’s feathers.
