Weinman and first issued in 1916, the series concluded in 1945 with the end of World War II and the death of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The obverse features Liberty in a winged cap, symbolizing freedom of thought, while the reverse bears a fasces and olive branch, representing strength and peace. The 1945 issue marks the close of nearly three decades of this distinctive design before the Roosevelt dime was introduced the following year.
