The 1979 silver dollar features an image of President Dwight D. Eisenhower on the obverse, which is a tribute to his leadership during World War II and his presidency. The reverse side showcases an eagle landing on the moon, commemorating the Apollo 11 mission. This coin is part of the Eisenhower dollar series, minted from 1971 to 1978, and while it is often referred to as a silver dollar, the 1979 version was not made of silver but rather a copper-nickel clad composition.
