Reverse: The Nebraska design captures the essence of westward expansion with a dramatic scene of Chimney Rock rising majestically from the plains.

In the foreground, a covered wagon drawn by oxen journeys across the prairie, symbolizing the courage and determination of the thousands of settlers who passed through Nebraska seeking new opportunities. The sun rises behind Chimney Rock, representing hope and new beginnings on the frontier. This powerful composition tells the story of America's westward expansion in a single, evocative image.
