Obverse:
The obverse features the celebrated Lady Liberty design originally created by Augustus Saint-Gaudens in 1907. Liberty strides confidently forward holding a torch and olive branch, symbolizing enlightenment and peace—one of the most admired images in American coinage.
Reverse:
The 2026 issue carries the updated Type II reverse design introduced in 2021, depicting a detailed close-up portrait of a bald eagle, designed by Jennie Norris. This modern interpretation emphasizes strength, pride, and national heritage while preserving the coin’s iconic status.
