Surrounding the portrait is the inscription "IN GOD WE TRUST" split across the lower field, with the date "1964" positioned at the bottom. The reverse features a classic heraldic eagle clutching a bundle of arrows in one talon and an olive branch in the other, symbolizing both strength and peace. The inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and "HALF DOLLAR" frame the central design, accompanied by the traditional motto "E PLURIBUS UNUM" above the eagle.
