The Eisenhower Dollar was designed by Frank Gasparo, who at the time was the chief engraver of the mint. The design was meant to honor President Dwight D. Eisenhower. The obverse of the coin featured a left side profile of our late President. The reverse was inspired by the insignia of the Apollo 11 mission. It depicted a bald eagle swooping down over the surface of the moon, it was grasping an olive branch. The background clearly visualized Earth. In 1975-76 there was a bicentennial design of the reverse of the coin which depicted the liberty bell hovering over the moon.
