Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Dollar

[…]

The coins bearing President Roosevelt’s image represent the twenty-sixth in the series of Presidential Dollar coins, and the second to be issued in 2013. The obverse depicts Roosevelt, the time in office (1901-1909), and the motto “In God We Trust”. The reverse shows the Statue of Liberty in the same design as been depicted on all Presidential dollars. The edge has the motto “E PLURIBUS UNUM”, the year of issuance, and the mint mark.
