Combines brilliant and frosted relief over a lined background!
Masterful engraving in your $1 coin captures the hawk's characteristics in exquisite detail, from its spotted plumage to its facial features and sharp talons. This right side profile allows for an excellent view of the bird's majestic wings as it slows its descent and stretches out its feather-covered legs in preparation for a landing. Below it, fine blades of grass rise up from the edge—a reminder of the hawk's preferred grassland habitat.
