The reverse surface of the coin, designed by the sculptor Miley Busiek, features a male eagle carrying an olive branch flying above a nest containing a female eagle and her hatchlings. In addition to this stirringly American imagery, the coin bears inscriptions of its weight, face value and year of mintage.
