Description of obverse and reverse | Obverse features Lady Liberty, a symbol of vigilance and resolute faithfulness to duty, on its obverse (heads side). Reverse is emblematic of the principal "To Insure Domestic Tranquility."

A brief annotation | The 2011 American Eagle Platinum Proof coin features the third design in the six-year “Preamble Series” introduced in 2009. The designs are unique as they are inspired by narratives written by the United States Chief Justice. These narratives inspire artistic renderings of our nation’s values and core principals found in the U.S. Constitution. |
