This is the back of the coin, showing the different aspects of the program.
Starting at the bottom and going clockwise around the edge, that square building was the Air Force Satellite Control Building, which everyone in the program called "the Blue Cube." The next represents the launch facilities (like where Dad worked.) Next is a Corona satellite. Then a SIGNIT satellite. Then the Hexagon satellite. And finally the recovery program where they caught the falling film.
In the middle top is a Gambit satellite. And the middle bottom represents the satellite tracking stations they had across the globe.
