The U.S. Mint has issued 2021-dated versions of two of the most symbolic silver dollar coins in U.S. coinage history in honor of the 100th Anniversary of their momentous transition. In 1921, the Morgan Dollar, which represented an era of growth and prosperity of the nation, was replaced by the Peace Dollar, which was issued to welcome the return to a time of peace following the destruction of the First World War. The Morgan Dollar was released annually from 1878-1904, then for a final year in 1921. The Peace Dollar was issued yearly from 1921-1928, then again in 1934 and 1935.
Exquisite Silver Morgan Dollar Design
The Morgan Dollar was designed by Mint Chief Engraver George T. Morgan (1845-1925) and was minted from 1878 to 1904, and again in 1921. This iconic silver dollar represented the country’s westward expansion and industrial development in the late 19th century.
In honor of the 100th anniversary of the last year of the ‘Morgan Dollar’ the United States Mint is proud to present the 2021 Morgan Dollar, created through the use of modern technology and historical U.S. Mint assets. It has a beautiful uncirculated finish.
The obverse features Liberty in profile. A cap, flora, and a crown incused with the word “LIBERTY” adorn her head, while 13 stars, “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” and the date of issuance encircle her.
The reverse depicts an eagle with outstretched wings clasping arrows and an olive branch, accompanied by a wreath. Reverse inscriptions are “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and “ONE DOLLAR.”
Each coin is packaged in an elegant black box, with a beautiful outer sleeve adorned with an image of the coin obverse and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.
This uncirculated 2021 Morgan Dollar—rendered in lustrous 99.9% silver—is sure to be a collector favorite for years to come.
Exquisite Silver Peace Dollar Design
In December 1921, the new Peace Dollar was approved by Treasury Secretary Andrew Mellon, replacing the Morgan Dollar and marking peace between the U.S. and Germany. More than 1 million of the coins had been struck by the end of the year. The new silver dollar was designed by renowned Italian American Sculptor Anthony de Francisci (1887 – 1964) and minted until 1935.
The Peace Dollar symbolized the country’s coming of age as an international power, while recognizing the sacrifices made by its citizens in World War I and celebrating victory and peace. In honor of the 100th anniversary of this iconic silver dollar, the United States Mint is proud to present the 2021 Peace Dollar.
