Patriotic Eagle Design by Antonio de Francisci
Obverse: Both faces of this coin bear designs of Antonio de Francisci. On the obverse is a left-facing Liberty, who dons a radiate crown. Split by her image is an inscription of the national motto, “IN GOD WE TRVST.” Rim inscriptions offer the figure’s name, “LIBERTY,” and the date, “2023.”
Reverse: Gracing the reverse is an eagle perched on a rocky crag against a backdrop of the rays of the early morning sun. Arching over the image are inscriptions of the name of the issuing country, “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” and the second statutory motto, “E PLURIBUS UNUM.” Additional reverse inscriptions note the name of the coin, “PEACE,” and its face value, “ONE DOLLAR.” Antonio de Francisci was a prolific sculptor who immigrated to the United States from Italy.
