Here is an interesting history of the coin. Jefferson Davis was not included in the design on the coin so Jackson and Lee could be enlarged to better fit the round coin.

When the coin design was presented the Secretary of the Treasury asked Gutson Borglum why he placed the motto "In God We Trust" over the head of Robert E. Lee.

Borglum said: "Because they did trust Him, and were sincere in their belief that they were right."

Then Borglum was asked what the significance of the thirteen stars.

Borglum replied with a chuckle according to the folklore: "It depends on which side of Mason Dixon's line you happen to live. They could, of course, stand for the thirteen rebellious Colonies."
