| Obverse description | Central design depicting a rear view of a sailing vessel approaching the island of Manhattan, rendered in detailed relief. On the island, Native American tepees with rising smoke plumes are visible in the middle ground. Thirteen stars arc above the scene, symbolizing the original founding states of the United States of America. In the lower portion of the field, a bald eagle displayed with an olive branch and arrows — the heraldic device of the United States — serves as a secondary emblem. The encircling legend commemorates Henry Hudson's 1609 discovery of Manhattan Island. |
