| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a detailed scenic view of Alley Mill, a historic three-story stone and wood roller mill constructed in 1894, situated within the Ozark National Scenic Riverways in Missouri. The mill is framed by native deciduous trees on both sides, with a rocky stream flowing in the foreground, evoking the natural character of the Current River watershed. The legend OZARK RIVERWAYS arcs along the upper rim, while MISSOURI appears along the lower left and E PLURIBUS UNUM along the lower right. The date 2017 is inscribed at the bottom of the design, with the engravers' initials RS (Ronald D. Sanders) and RG (Renata Gordon) visible in the field. |

| Additional information |
The Ozark National Scenic Riverways was the first national park unit in the United States established specifically to protect a free-flowing river system, designated by Congress in 1964 after years of contested proposals that included a dam project the Park Service ultimately helped defeat. Missouri's Current and Jacks Fork rivers were the centerpiece of that fight.
