Introduced in 1971, this renowned Dollar coin honors President Dwight D. Eisenhower along with man s first landing on the moon. While previous designs for U.S. dollar coins featured the symbolic figure of Liberty, the Eisenhower Dollar was the first circulating Dollar to honor a specific person. Chief U.S. Mint Engraver Frank Gasparro created the distinctive profile of America s 34th President. The dollar s reverse depicts a majestic eagle landing on the moon with the earth in the background. Changes to the Eisenhower dollar were recommended for the observation of the nation s Bicentennial in 1976. Through a nationwide competition, a design by Dennis R. Williams was selected which depicted the Liberty Bell superimposed on the moon. Minted for only two years, 1975 through 1976, this dual-dated Bicentennial coin symbolizes the first two centuries of America s history. The coin has been layered in 24-Karat Pure Gold, then colorized through a proprietary process to commemorate man s first landing on the moon. The coin sets secure in a round bezel. The 1 7/8 inch gold tone money clip has a high polished finish that looks great with any attire. A Certificate of Authenticity is included.
