| Reverse description | The reverse is dominated by a large intaglio vignette of the word ONE at center, flanked by both obverse and reverse sides of the Great Seal of the United States rendered within circular guilloche frames. At left, the reverse seal shows an unfinished thirteen-step pyramid surmounted by the Eye of Providence, with the Latin mottoes ANNUIT COEPTIS above and NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM on a ribbon below, and the Roman numeral date MDCCLXXVI at the pyramid's base. At right, the obverse seal presents a bald eagle with wings displayed, bearing a shield on its breast, an olive branch in its right talon and a bundle of arrows in its left, with E PLURIBUS UNUM on a scroll above. The motto IN GOD WE TRUST appears in letterpress above ONE, and ONE DOLLAR is inscribed along the lower border. |
