The United States Mint Presidential $1 Coin Historical Signature Set – George Washington – is the first in this new collection. This product features a proof coin which is extraordinarily brilliant, with sharp relief and a mirror-like background. The frosted, sculpted foreground gives a special cameo effect. An image of President George Washington appears on the obverse of the coin and the reverse features a striking rendition of the Statue of Liberty. The Presidential $1 Coins also feature edge-incused inscriptions of the year, “E Pluribus Unum,” “In God We Trust,” and the mint mark. The size, weight and metal composition of the new Presidential $1 Coins are identical to that of the Sacagawea Golden Dollar. Each coin is mounted in a removable capsule.
Visible from the cover of the United States Mint Presidential $1 Coin Historical Signature Set is the Presidential intaglio print of George Washington printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Opening the cover reveals the official George Washington Presidential signature, courtesy of the White House Historical Association.
