The obverse of the silver dollar features a soldier offering a canteen to another wounded soldier. The reverse features the Gettysburg landscape and a quote from Joshua Chamberlain, who fought in the battle.
The inscriptions on the obverse include “Liberty”, “In God We Trust”, and the date “1995”. The majority of the reverse is taken up by this quote: "In great deeds something abides. On great fields something stays. Forms change and pass, bodies disappear, but spirits linger to consecrate ground for the vision place of souls." - Joshua Chamberlain" Other reverse inscriptions read "United States of America", "E Pluribus Unum", and "One Dollar".
Proof and uncirculated versions of the 1995 Civil War Battlefields Silver Dollar were issued, with the proof coins minted at San Francisco and the uncirculated coins minted at Philadelphia. The coins were sold individually, as multi coin sets with other Civil War Battlefields Commemoratives, and included in the annual Prestige Proof Set.
