Eisenhower Dollar (Reverse)

This item is an Eisenhower Dollar coin, specifically showing its reverse side. The coin is circular and appears to be made of a silver-colored metallic alloy, likely copper-nickel clad, as typically used for these denominations for circulation. The primary motif on the reverse is an Eagle landing on the moon, symbolizing both the American eagle and the Apollo 11 moon landing. Above the eagle, the words "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" are inscribed along the top rim, while below it, the denomination "ONE DOLLAR" is clearly visible. The design features a textured field behind the eagle, representing the lunar surface. The coin exhibits a circulated condition, evidenced by a noticeable amount of wear and some minor surface scratches across the field and on the raised elements of the design. There is a visible patina that has developed over time, dulling the original luster, which is typical for coins that have been in circulation. No specific mint mark is clearly discernible from this image, which would typically be located above the 'DOL' of 'ONE DOLLAR'. The overall craftsmanship is consistent with mass-produced coinage from the United States Mint. The style period is distinctly modern American coinage, dating back to the 1970s. The edges of the coin show some minor nicks and dings, further indicating its use. The details of the eagle's feathers and the lunar surface are still mostly intact, though softened by wear.
