| Obverse description | The obverse presents an allegorical composition featuring two books in the central field: one open volume with its spine resting atop a closed book, symbolizing knowledge and learning. Rising prominently in the background is the torch of learning, rendered in fine relief. The legend LIBRARY OF CONGRESS arcs along the upper periphery, flanked by the centennial dates 1800 and 2000, while IN GOD WE TRUST and LIBERTY appear in the field, with the engraver's initials TDR inscribed below. |

| Additional information |
Authorized under the Library of Congress Bicentennial Coin Act of 1998, this issue was part of a two-coin program that also included a bimetallic ten-dollar gold and platinum piece — the first U.S. coin to combine those two metals. Sales were sluggish; the program's ambitious pricing structure dampened collector demand, and final mintage figures for the silver dollar came in well below authorized limits.
