The 1997 Botanic Gardens Silver Dollar was issued for the National Botanic Garden in Washington, DC. Based on the inscriptions the occasion was for the 165th anniversary, which took place two years prior in 1995. The program did include the issuance of the 1997 Botanic Gardens "Coinage and Currency" Set.

The obverse of the Botanic Gardens Silver Dollar portrays the facade of the Botanic Garden without landscaping. The inscriptions read "Liberty", the denomination "One Dollar", the date and mint mark, "In God We Trust", and United States of America. Some collectors confuse the obverse as the reverse and vice versa because of the inclusion of the denomination.

The reverse portrays a single rose with a garland of roses encircling the rim of the coin above. The inscriptions include "United States Botanic Garden", the anniversary dates "1820-1995", and the motto "E Pluribus Unum".

The 1997 Botanic Gardens Commemorative Silver Dollar was produced in proof and uncirculated versions, both minted in Philadelphia. Collectors took focus on the 1997 Botanic Gardens Set, which included a matte finish 1997-P Jefferson Nickel.
