The image of the coin that appears in the artist rendering is often quite different than what the circulating coin actually looks like! Compare this Statue of Liberty Reverse of the Presidential Dollar, which was struck for circulation, with the artist rendering of the same type issued months before! (See previous image.)
The shading on Liberty's arms, neck, and face, which is noticeable in the artist rendering, is transformed here into the implication of a high-relief design. In fact, the actual coin is struck is higher relief than any other current circulating design, and I like this reverse design very much. I wish I could say I was so approving of the obverse designs featuring the U.S. Presidents themselves...
The Presidential Dollar coin reverse art was designed and sculpted by U.S. Mint medallic sculptor Don Everhart.
