| Obverse description | The obverse features a close-up effigy of the Statue of Liberty, rendered in high relief, occupying the right-center of the field and depicted from approximately the waist upward. Liberty is shown wearing a crown of rays and draped robes, her right arm raised aloft bearing a torch with a flame, while her left arm cradles a tablet. The motto IN GOD WE TRUST appears in two lines to the lower left of the effigy, with the denomination $1 inscribed to the right. A gear-wheel privy mark symbolizing American innovation appears at the lower left field, accompanied by the engraver's initials PH and JK. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a symbolic representation of the first human lung transplant, commemorating the pioneering surgical achievement associated with Mississippi. At the center of the field, a pair of human lungs is shown in bold relief, with two pairs of gloved surgical hands converging upon them — one hand from the lower left holding a surgical clamp or hemostat, and the other from the right engaged in the procedure. The legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA arcs along the upper periphery, while MISSISSIPPI curves prominently along the lower rim. The inscription FIRST HUMAN LUNG TRANSPLANT is placed in three lines in the lower central field, with the engraver's initials CAC visible to the lower right. |
