Object Details

artist
Gasparro, Frank
Description (Brief)
Although Gasparro made many drawings of eagles for the reverse of the new dollar coin, the mint ultimately chose to use a reverse that was very similar to that on the 1971—1974 Dwight D. Eisenhower dollar (an adaptation of the Apollo II insignia,) for the Susan B. Anthony dollar.
