ABOUT THE DESIGN
Striding Liberty (obverse) - The obverse gets its design directly from Saint Gauden's original sculpture of the General William T. Sherman monument in Central Park, New York City. It shows Lady Liberty walking while holding a torch and olive branch. The design would later be reused for the American Gold Eagle obverse as well.
Soaring Eagle (reverse) - The reverse design features an American eagle flying above the sun and its rays.
