The Artistry Behind the Coin

Obverse: A dramatic profile representation of the Statue of Liberty commands attention, symbolizing American freedom and the spirit of innovation. Lady Liberty's dignified profile is rendered in striking detail, with the inscriptions "IN GOD WE TRUST" and "$1" elegantly positioned, maintaining design continuity throughout the American Innovation series.

Reverse: The design features a powerful silhouette of Annie Jump Cannon set against the vast night sky, surrounded by a field of stars she dedicated her life to classifying. This evocative imagery captures both the astronomer's solitary dedication and the infinite scope of her contributions to science. The inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "ANNIE JUMP CANNON," "CLASSIFYING THE STARS," and "DELAWARE" frame this tribute to scientific achievement, while the stellar backdrop reminds us of the countless stars Cannon catalogued during her remarkable career.

Edge Design: The year "2019," mint mark (P or D), and "E PLURIBUS UNUM" are incused on the edge, adding a unique dimensional element to these modern dollars.
