Depicts the seal of the U.S. Department of the Interior: an American Bison facing left with the rising sun and a mountain in the background. The inscriptions include “United States of America”, “E Pluribus Unum”, and the denomination “One Dollar”.

The United States Department of the Interior is responsible for the management and conservation of most federal lands and natural resources.

The American bison, also commonly known as the American buffalo, is a North American species of bison that once roamed the grasslands of North America in massive herds. They became nearly extinct by a combination of commercial hunting and slaughter in the 19th century and introduction of bovine diseases from domestic cattle, and have made a recent resurgence largely restricted to a few national parks and reserves.
