– SOLDThe obverse features Lady Liberty, facing left, wearing a coronet inscribed with “LIBERTY.” She is surrounded by 13 stars, symbolizing the original 13 colonies, and the year of issue (1907) is inscribed below her portrait. Lady Liberty is a classical depiction of freedom, a common theme in U.S. coinage. The stars and coronet emphasize the values of democracy and liberty that the United States was founded upon.
The reverse features a heraldic eagle with a shield on its chest, holding an olive branch and arrows in its talons. Above the eagle is the national motto “E PLURIBUS UNUM” (Out of Many, One). Surrounding the design are the inscriptions “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” and “TWENTY DOLLARS.” The eagle represents strength and independence, while the olive branch and arrows symbolize the nation’s readiness for peace but also its preparedness for peace but also its preparedness for conflict, reflecting the dual approach of diplomacy and defense.
