Profile head of young Liberty wearing a winged Phrygian cap, with the word, LIBERTY around the top; "In God We Trust" below the chin and 1916 below the neck. Confused with the Roman god Mercury, hence most commonly referred to as a "Mercury Dime."

A fasces (a bound bundle of wooden rods with an axe), symbolizing unity and strength, and an olive branch, signifying peace.

Around the rim: "Unites States of America One Dime"; to the lower right of the fasces, "E Pluribus Unum"
