2009 James K. Polk Presidential Dollar
James K. Polk Presidential Dollars will be released third in next year’s line up of the ongoing Presidential Dollar series. The official release date has not been published, but design sketches for the upcoming coin have already been released.
The obverse of the coin will feature a portrait of former President Polk. The obverse was designed by Susan Gamble and sculpted by Charles Vickers. The reverse of the coin will continue to feature the Statue of Liberty rendition as designed and sculpted by Don Everhart. This design representative of the concept of Liberty has been used throughout the series.
As a change from prior years, the placement of the “In God We Trust” motto will be moved to the obverse of the coin. The other famous motto “E Pluribus Unum,” the date, and mint mark will continue to appear on the edge lettering of the coin.
