Lady Liberty strides confidently forward, torch held high in her right hand to enlighten the world, while her left hand carries an olive branch symbolizing peace. She is framed by the U.S. Capitol building and the rising sun, evoking national strength and renewal.

• Type 1 (1986–2021): Features Miley Busiek’s design of a male eagle soaring toward a nest holding an olive branch, watching over a female and her hatchlings. This scene embodies family, freedom, and the strength of American values.

• Type 2 (2021–Present): Features Jennie Norris’s detailed close-up portrait of a bald eagle. This modern design focuses on a sharp, intricate gaze, emphasizing precision and dignity.
