Many coins look unbalanced, but not this one. The simplicity of the design draws you into the most impressive equestrian devices of any coin. The detail and realism are presented powerfully and gracefully. The reverse is an original representation of a common theme in American coinage with an eagle clucthing arrows and branches with a shield. </p><p><br /></p><p>Other than the Leif Ericson Silver commemorative, this is the only modern coin that I absolutely love.
