| Obverse description | The obverse bears a close-up effigy of the Statue of Liberty, rendered in high relief and facing right, her radiate crown and classically draped robe rendered in fine sculptural detail. Her raised right arm holds aloft a torch, while her left arm cradles a tablet. The denomination '$1' appears in the right field, and the motto 'IN GOD WE TRUST' is inscribed in two lines to the lower left. The engraver's initials 'PH' appear to the lower right of the figure, with the mint mark position on the edge; the designer's initials 'JK' appear near the lower rim. |

| Additional information |
Alabama's innovation dollar honors the work of Dr. Charles Drew, whose research into blood plasma storage in the late 1930s directly enabled the large-scale blood bank systems used during World War II. The program itself — one dollar per state per year — was authorized under the American Innovation $1 Coin Act of 2018, giving the Mint a 56-coin run stretched across more than a decade.
These see almost no circulation. The manganese-brass composition was retained from the Presidential dollar series largely because the alloy satisfies vending machine sensor requirements, a practical constraint that has quietly governed U.S. dollar coin specifications since the Susan B. Anthony.
