Minted from 1907 through 1933, the coin was originally produced without “In God We Trust” as the motto. Congress passed a law in 1908 requiring the motto to be reinstated on all coins. The obverse design depicts Liberty carrying forward a torch against the backdrop of a rising sun. The reverse displays a soaring eagle again against the backdrop of a glorious sun. In 1986, the U.S. Treasury honored the classic design by placing the obverse on the American Eagle bullion coin.
