Quote:
The Secretary may mint and issue the dimes, quarter dollars, and half dollars in a composition of .999 fine silver.
The reverse of each coin would carry designs that:
depict an American bald eagle
depict a fasces emblematic of civil governance
depict the torch of knowledge
are emblematic and allegoric of The Union
depict one or more of the American values and attributes of freedom, independence, peace, strength, equality, democracy, and justice.
