The reverse of the Maryland American Innovation $1 Reverse Proof Coin recognizes the Hubble Space Telescope, one of the largest and most versatile space telescopes. The telescope is managed by teams at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Goddard Space Flight Center and the Space Telescope Science Institute, both located in Maryland. 

The design depicts the telescope orbiting the earth surrounded by a field of stars with the inscriptions “United States Of America,” “The Hubble Space Telescope,” and “Maryland.” Mint Chief Engraver Joe Menna created and sculpted the design. 

The obverse (heads) of the American Innovation $1 Coins features a dramatic representation of the Statue of Liberty in profile by Artistic Infusion Program Designer Justin Kunz, with the inscriptions “In God We Trust” and “$1.” The design also includes a privy mark of a stylized gear, representing industry and innovation. Medallic Artist Phebe Hemphill sculpted the design. The inscriptions “2020,” the mint mark, and “E Pluribus Unum” are incused on the edge of the coin. 

The American Innovation $1 Reverse Proof Coin has a frosted background and a brilliant, mirror-like finish and bears the “S” mint mark of the United States Mint at San Francisco. Each coin is housed in an informational four-panel envelope with the Certificate of Authenticity embedded in the packaging.
