The Lewis and Clark expedition was the first overland expedition undertaken by the United States to the Pacific coast. Commissioned as a scientific and military expedition by Thomas Jefferson to explore what had formerly been territory acquired in The Louisiana Purchase, the expedition departed Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on August 31, 1803, and arrived at the Pacific Ocean in December, 1805.

The obverse design depicts Captains Lewis and Clark on a stream bank planning another day of exploration, and the reverse features two feathers, an image of the original Jefferson Peace Medal presented, surrounded by 17 stars representing the number of states in the Union in 1804.

These proof $1 Dollar silver coin were struck at the Philadelphia Mint and made the same composition and size as the old (pre-1936) Silver Dollars- 90% silver, 10% copper, 38.5mm diameter and containing 0.7734 Troy oz of silver.
