Proof coins are the first set of coins that are created from a new die. Many of these silver dollars that were created were proof coins. The front of the coin was still the same donning a picture of Eisenhower, but the back had a design featuring the Liberty Bell and the moon. This coin was created to commemorate and celebrate the 200th anniversary of signing the Declaration of Independence. 1976 was 200 years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence that gave us our freedom.
