The obverse showcases intricate details, including Liberty's flowing hair and the inscription "LIBERTY" on top. On the reverse, there is a fasces, symbolizing unity and strength, along with an olive branch, representing peace. The 1940 Mercury Dime is highly regarded for its exquisite design, which captures the essence of American coinage during that era.
