The Capitol Building had already been featured on some of the 1989 Congress Commemorative Coins and would appear again on the 2001 Capitol Visitor Center Commemorative Coins. This time around, the program included a lone silver dollar coin with a maximum authorized mintage of 500,000. The obverse of the coin features the dome of the Capitol building with stars surrounding the statue Freedom, which rests atop the dome. The obverse was designed by William C. Cousins. The reverse of the coin features a motif based on the center area of a stained glass window near the grand staircases of the House and Senate. This motif includes a shield, an eagle, branches, and four flags. The reverse was designed by John Mercanti after the original stained glass window design." https://moderncommemoratives.com/19...lver-dollar/ Report this Post to the Staff
