Surrounding her portrait are thirteen stars, the date of issue, and the classic Latin motto 'E Pluribus Unum'. The reverse of the coin showcases a bald eagle grasping arrows and an olive branch in its talons. This design is framed by the inscriptions 'United States of America', 'One Dollar', and the national motto 'In God We Trust'. This particular specimen has been certified in Mint State 65 (MS-65), preserving the intricate details of its historic engraving.
