The inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA", "ELIZABETH PERATROVICH", "$ 1" and "ANTI-DISCRIMINATION LAW OF 1945", complete the design of the United States Mint artist, Phebe Hemphill, who has also Engraved coin.
The obverse, common to this entire series of US dollar coins, shows Sacagawea and his son Jean Baptiste. This indigenous woman of the shoshone tribe accompanied and guided one of the most important expeditions of recognition of the American territory. The face of the coin reproduces the face of a shoshone woman of today called Randy'L He-dow Teton, since there is no image of Sacagawea.
