This figure walks towards a sun that emits 13 rays, representing the unity of the original colonies.

John Mercanti's reverse design showcases a dignified heraldic eagle, protected by a liberty shield and clutching an olive branch and arrows in its talons which are symbols of peace and vigilance, under 13 stars for the founding states. The eagle prominently carries the banner "E PLURIBUS UNUM," reinforcing the nation's motto of unity from diversity. The inscriptions “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” and “1 OZ. FINE SILVER ~ ONE DOLLAR” encircle the motif.
