Introduced in 1971, the Eisenhower Dollar marked the return of the U.S. dollar coin after a 36-year absence. The obverse honors President Dwight D.

The 1975–1976 issues feature the dual date “1776–1976” and a Liberty Bell superimposed over the moon to commemorate the United States Bicentennial. These proof silver dollars combine presidential tribute, national pride, and modern minting excellence in one large-format coin.
