The reverse shows Dr. Vera Rubin in profile, looking up, with a spiral galaxy and other celestial bodies around her and DARK MATTER inscribed at the bottom. The other inscriptions are DR. VERA RUBIN, QUARTER DOLLAR, E PLURIBUS UNUM and UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Astronomer whose pioneering observations of galaxy rotation rates provided key evidence for the existence of dark matter.

As a proof issue, this coin was struck multiple times on specially prepared polished planchets using polished dies, producing mirror-like fields and frosted design elements prized by collectors.
