The obverse of the Community Service Silver Dollar was based on a medal designed by Augustus Saint Gaudens for the Women’s Auxiliary of the Massachusetts Civil Service Reform Association. The inscriptions include "Liberty", "In God We Trust", "National Community Service", and the date "1996".
The reverse design features the words "Service For America" surrounded by a wreath. Below the words is the motto "E Pluribus Unum". Surrounding the wreath are the additional inscriptions "United States of America" and the denomination "One Dollar".
The 1996 Community Service Dollar was issued in proof and uncirculated versions, both produced at the San Francisco Mint. The proof and uncirculated coins were offered for sale individually. A special proof coin and stamp set was also offered, which included an original 1940 USPS stamp featuring Augustus Saint Gaudens and a booklet describing his achievements.
