The coins’ reverse (tails side) bears sculptor Miley Busiek’s design of a male eagle carrying an olive branch, flying above a nest containing a female eagle and her eaglets.

These coins are struck multiple times and feature a frosted foreground and mirror–like background, giving them a special cameo effect.
