Obverse

Thomas Jefferson appears in effigy on the round’s obverse side, along with his name and the year of issue. He’s accompanied by the inscriptions “AMERICAN VIRTUES” and “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” and his iconic quote “Never Trouble Another for What You Can Do For Yourself” appears at the rim.

Reverse

On the round’s reverse side, Lady Liberty lights the road of Independence with a torch in one hand and an olive branch in the other. A bald eagle flies by her side to represent freedom, and the pre-9/11 New York skyline appears in the background.

History

The Declaration of Independence is famed as the document that, after years of tension and protest, finally set the American Revolution in motion. Its original draft was produced by the man who was accounted the most brilliant mind among the Founding Fathers, the philosopher and architect, lawyer, and diplomat Thomas Jefferson, who would later go on to be America’s third President. The ideas he embedded in that Declaration would go on the shape the character of America for centuries to come, helping to carry the country through moments of adversity such as the 9/11 attacks, whose somber Twentieth Anniversary occasioned the release of the American Virtues series of collectibles.
