The obverse design of this coin was inspired by an original design by Augustus Saint-Gaudens. It features standing Liberty with a lamp and book in her right hand with the sun encircling the flame of the lamp.
The lamp symbolizes learning and discovery, and the sun symbolizes the light of knowledge. The 1996 National Community Service Silver Dollar was issued to honor the spirit of volunteerism in the United States.
