| Obverse description | The field features a recessed silhouette map of the Great Salt Lake region set against a frosted background. Surrounding the map in relief are three vignettes: a full-length figure of a Native American woman to the left, a steam locomotive to the upper right, and a bearded male figure holding a book to the lower right; a small paddle-wheel steamboat appears within the lake's recessed area. The circumferential legend reads '150TH ANNIVERSARY DISCOVERY OF THE GREAT SALT LAKE' with the Franklin Mint 'fm' mintmark. |
