She strides toward a rising sun, with 13 sunrays, representing the original thirteen colonies.
The reverse, designed by John Mercanti, portrays a heraldic eagle with a shield of liberty, clutching an olive branch and arrows in its talons, below 13 stars for the original colonies. The eagle also carries a banner in its beak, inscribed with “E PLURIBUS UNUM.”
