The legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA arcs above, while HALF DOLLAR appears in the lower field. The motto IN GOD WE TRUST is inscribed in the upper field between the building and the top legend, and LIBERTY is placed just below the building in the exergue area. The design presents the historic structure with architectural precision, reflecting its significance as Iowa's first state capitol. |
