| Reverse description | The central field features a full-color circular vignette depicting a young Abraham Lincoln standing in a woodland clearing, resting one hand on his brow as he surveys his surroundings, with an axe resting at his feet and tree stumps visible in the background, evoking his early years as a rail splitter on the frontier. A blue banner inscribed RAIL SPLITTER appears at the base of the colored vignette, and a star-shaped American flag device is placed to the left. The silver border surrounding the vignette bears the incuse legend ABRAHAM LINCOLN arcing across the top and AN AMERICAN LIFE along the bottom, flanked by five-pointed stars. |
