| Obverse description | The obverse features a high-relief scene depicting an overloaded automobile, packed with belongings and passengers, traveling along a barren road away from an abandoned farmstead with a windmill and bare trees in the background, evoking the Dust Bowl migration of the 1930s. The curved legend arcs along the upper border, with the date in the lower field flanked by five-pointed stars. An engraver's initials appear in the lower central field. |
