History of North America

What is on the tails side of a US 1 dollar coin?

The tails side of a US 1 dollar coin has the image of the Great Seal of the United States. The seal is depicted with a heraldic eagle, holding an olive branch in one claw and arrows in the other. Above the eagle's head is a constellation of 13 stars, representing the 13 original states. Around the seal is the Latin phrase "E Pluribus Unum", meaning "Out of many, one".
