The coin is made of 90% gold and 10% copper, with a weight of 0.9675 troy oz.

The obverse of the coin features Liberty wearing a coronet inscribed with the word "Liberty," and surrounded by 13 stars representing the original colonies. The date "1868" is located below the image of Liberty.

The reverse of the coin displays a heraldic eagle with outstretched wings, holding an olive branch and arrows in its talons.
