What is on the Back of a Dime?

What is on the Back of a Dime?

By GovMint :

The back, or reverse, of the Roosevelt Dime features a torch that symbolizes liberty flanked by an olive branch and an oak branch that symbolize peace and strength respectively. This trio of symbols beautifully encapsulates ideologies associated with the United States.

The Mercury Dime, which preceded the Roosevelt Dime, was minted from 1916 to 1945. Its back, or reverse design featured a fasces—a bundle of rods with an ax—symbolizing unity and strength alongside an olive branch representing peace.
