This Mount Rushmore $5 Gold Coin was issued as part of a program authorized to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Mount Rushmore National Monument.
The obverse of the coin is dominated by the image of a bald eagle in flight. The eagles claws hold a chisel and a mallet for sculpting and a ribbon in its beak includes the words “In God We Trust.” At the lower right side of the coin, a small view of Mount Rushmore appears. The obverse was design by John Mercanti.
The reverse of the coin is entirely designed in lettering, representing the first such design in the history of United States commemorative coins. Centrally, the words “Mount Rushmore National Memorial” appear in calligraphy. Around the outer rim, the remaining inscriptions are: “United States of America,” “Five Dollars,” and “E Pluribus Unum.” The reverse was modeled by William Cousins and designed by William Lamb, who is a calligraphic artist.
This coin was struck at the U.S. Mint at West Point.
A great addition to your collection!
