The bird is surmounted by 13 stars, recalling the 13 original states. The eagle's head is turned toward the olive branch on its right to symbolize a preference for peace.

The date of the independence of the United States is also inscribed at the bottom: "IV JUL MDCCLXXVI" (July 4, 1776), in small letters below, "C. BARBER 1876" (the artist who copied F. DUPRE) as well as the name of the original artist, "DUPRE F." under Mercury.

The history of American independence began when the American War of Independence broke out in 1775, when disagreements between American colonists and the British government arose. At that time, an American army was formed and led by George Washington. The siege of Boston was the first phase of the War of Independence, where New England surrounded the city of Boston to prohibit movement of the British troops. After months of siege, George Washington and the American colonists forced the British to withdraw by sea.

The Declaration of Independence of the United States was voted by American colonists and issued on July 4, 1776, which outlined the colonists' motivations for seeking independence.
