The obverse features mount Rushmore with a brilliant sunburst behind the carved presidential faces, while the reverse displays an American bison standing on the plains. Designed by Marcel Jovine. Struck in 75% copper, 25% nickel over a pure copper center, weighing 11.34 grams, 30.6 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #9643. The Mount Rushmore half dollar's combination of the presidential carving and the bison makes it a distinctively Western-themed commemorative.
