Depicts the Statue of Liberty in profile with the inscriptions “IN GOD WE TRUST” and “$1.” In 2019, a privy mark was added under "WE TRUST".

The Statue of Liberty, a colossal neoclassical sculpture on Liberty Island in New York City, in the United States. The Statue is the work of sculptor Frederic Auguste Bartholdi, who enlisted the assistance of engineer Alexandre Gustave Eiffel, designer of the Eiffel Tower.

The Statue of Liberty was completed in 1884 in France and shipped to the United States in June 1885, having been disassembled into 350 individual pieces that were packed in over 200 crates for the transatlantic voyage. In four months’ time, it was re-assembled in New York Harbor, standing just over 151 feet from the top of the statue’s base to the tip of the torch her right hand holds high above the waters of New York Harbor.

Originally intended as a gift to celebrate the American Centennial in 1876, the Statue of Liberty was given to the United States as a symbol of the friendship forged between the new American government and the government of France during the American Revolutionary War.

Depicts Raye Montague visualizing a United States Navy Oliver Hazard Perry-class frigate. The grid pattern over the sea evokes the engineering and drafting techniques she digitized to accomplish her design. Included inscriptions are “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “ARKANSAS,” and “RAYE MONTAGUE.”

Raye Montague (1935–2018) was a trailblazing American naval engineer who revolutionized ship design and broke barriers for women and African Americans in engineering. Often referred to as the “hidden figure” of the U.S. Navy, she was the first person to create a computer-generated draft of a naval ship, a breakthrough that significantly streamlined the design process. Despite facing racial and gender discrimination, Montague’s determination and expertise earned her widespread respect and numerous accolades. Her work paved the way for modern naval engineering, and she served as an inspiration for future generations of underrepresented individuals in STEM fields.

The Oliver Hazard Perry-class frigates, named after War of 1812 hero Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry, were a versatile class of multi-mission warships that served the United States Navy from the late 1970s into the early 2000s. Designed primarily for anti-submarine warfare, these frigates were also equipped for surface and air defense operations, making them adaptable for a wide range of missions. Notably, the design process marked a historic achievement as the initial design was completed in just 18 hours with the aid of computers by Raye Montague, a civilian U.S. Navy naval engineer, making it the first ship to be designed using computer-generated drafting. With a compact design, a helicopter deck, and a single-arm missile launcher, the Perry-class ships were cost-effective yet highly capable. They played pivotal roles in Cold War operations, escort missions, and humanitarian efforts before being succeeded by more advanced vessels. Many were later transferred to allied navies, where they continue to serve.

Inscribed along the edge of the coin is the year of minting, the mint mark, and also the legend "E Pluribus Unum" (Latin for "Out of many, one").
