The 2003 First Flight Silver Dollar was issued along with a $10 gold and clad half dollar to celebrate the centennial of the first powered, manned flight. This was the only commemorative coin program for the year.
The obverse of the silver dollar features a portrait of Orville and Wilbur Wright facing left. The similarly designed gold coin features their portraits facing front. The inscriptions on the coin include "Liberty", "In God We Trust", "1903", "2003", and "Orville & Wilbur Wright".
The reverse features the Wright 1903 Flyer, in flight above the dunes at Kill Devil Hill. Above the Flyer is the inscription "One Dollar", with "United States of America" and "E Pluribus Unum" appearing on the dunes below.
The First Flight Silver Dollars were produced at the Philadelphia Mint in proof and uncirculated versions.
