Every Presidential $1 Coin shares a common reverse design of Don Everhart’s rendition of the Statue of Liberty. There are also inscriptions of ‘UNITED STATES OF AMERICA’ and the ‘$1’ denomination.
Another feature that is shared among dollar coins is letterings that are incused along their edges.
These edge letterings include the words ‘E PLURIBUS UNUM,’ the year ‘2014’ and the ‘P’ or ‘D’ mint mark to denote the U.S. Mint facility in Philadelphia or Denver. The edges of the coins are visible through the set’s protective blisters.
