Obverse: Liberty is seated on a rock with a shield and a Liberty Cap on pole held in her left hand. The word LIBERTY is embossed on a ribbon that drapes over the shield, and C. GOBRECHT. F. (i.e., C. Gobrecht fecit, where fecit is Latin for "made this") appears in the field between the base of Liberty and the date. Reverse: American eagle flies to the left in a field of twenty-six stars. Thirteen large stars represent the thirteen original colonies, and thirteen smaller stars depict the subsequent states admitted to the Union (with Michigan expected to be admitted in 1837). The legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and ONE DOLLAR appears around the circumference.

18 originals supposedly were struck in 1836, dies aligned in coin alignment. All knnown to exist are restrikes with a cracked reverse die and two different alignments. The absence of originals is a complete mystery.
