| Reverse description | The reverse features a panoramic view of a Civil War battlefield landscape with a stone monument or tower prominently displayed in the lower left field, evoking the hallowed grounds of a major engagement. An extended quotation from General Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain is inscribed in multiple lines across the central field, reading: IN GREAT DEEDS SOMETHING ABIDES. ON GREAT FIELDS SOMETHING STAYS. FORMS CHANGE AND PASS: BODIES DISAPPEAR: BUT SPIRITS LINGER TO CONSECRATE GROUND FOR THE VISIONPLACE OF SOULS. The attribution - JOSHUA CHAMBERLAIN appears below the quotation. The legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA arcs across the upper border, with E PLURIBUS UNUM inscribed below it, and the denomination ONE DOLLAR appears prominently at the bottom of the field. The design was engraved by John M. Mercanti, whose initials JM appear on the coin. |
