James Monroe was the fifth President of the United States. Therefore, the James Monroe Dollar was also the fifth design issued in the Presidential Dollar Coin Program.
Obverse: A portrait of James Monroe is featured on the coin along with the inscriptions, James Monroe, which are located right above his own portrait. Arched below Monroe, are the inscriptions, 5th President 1817-1825, or the years in which he served as President of the United States.
Reverse: The reverse of the coin features the Statue of Liberty along with a $1 symbol under Liberty’s right arm, with the $1 symbol, indicating the legal tender value of the coin. The words, United States of America, are also encircled around the coin.
Edge: Edge is completely missing as it did not go through the edge lettering machine.
Release Date: James Monroe circulation strike dollars were officially released on February 14, 2008.
Public Law: The James Madison Dollars were struck under the Presidential Dollar Coin Program Act, which was authorized under Public Law 109-145.
