This 45 mm diameter medal was struck by the Commonwealth Mint from 2 Troy oz. of .999 fine silver, its mintage limited to just 1,500.

Lady Liberty is depicted on the obverse facing right, with her long wavy hair held in place by a tall Phrygian cap. The fifteen states in the union in 1795 are represented by fifteen six-pointed stars, which are divided by the inscriptions "LIBERTY" and "1975-2020."

A bald eagle is featured on the reverse beside the Smithsonian sun logo, with a laurel wreath in its beak. The national bird grasps an olive branch, which includes an assayer mark and "999" upon one of the leaves. Inscribed "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA."
