The obverse of the 1995-S Civil War Battlefields Half Dollar Proof features a poignant depiction of a young battlefield drummer boy in his Civil War uniform. With drumsticks in hand, he stands as a symbol of courage and sacrifice. In front of the drummer, the year "1995" is prominently displayed, signifying the year of issuance. Arched above the design, the word "LIBERTY" underscores the core values of freedom and independence. Just below the scene, the motto "IN GOD WE TRUST" reinforces the nation's enduring faith.
Reverse Design:
The reverse side of the coin showcases a cannon positioned on the battlefields, evoking the solemnity and historical significance of these hallowed grounds. Arched above the central design, the words "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" emphasize the coin's patriotic theme. The motto "E PLURIBUS UNUM" serves as a reminder of the unity that emerged from the Civil War's challenges. Above the cannon, a powerful inscription reads, "ENRICHING OUR FUTURE BY PRESERVING OUR PAST," highlighting the importance of preserving our nation's history and heritage. Just below the cannon, the words "HALF DOLLAR" clearly indicate the coin's denomination.
