The Morgan and Peace Silver Dollar programs were relaunched in 2021 and were immediately popular with collectors. They symbolize two important eras in the development of the United States. The Morgan Dollars represented the country’s westward expansion and industrial development in the late 19th century, while the Peace Dollars reflect a nation taking its place among major world powers and its pursuit for peace. Together these coins vividly illustrate two important periods in our America’s history.
Both the Morgan Dollar and the Peace Dollar are carefully struck at the Philadelphia Mint, crafted from 0.858 troy ounces of .999 fine silver and boasting a beautiful Uncirculated finish. Each coin in this 2-coin set is certified by NGC as First Day of Issue and graded as a flawless MS70, featuring NGC's exclusive Morgan Dollar and Peace Dollar Design Labels.
Morgan Dollar Design
The obverse design features Liberty in profile, elegantly adorned with a flora-decorated cap, signifying the fertility and richness of American soil. Inscribed on her crown is the word "LIBERTY." Above her head reads the phrase "E PLURIBUS UNUM." She is also surrounded by 13 stars, representing the 13 original colonies.
The reverse design depicts an eagle with outstretched wings clasping a bundle of arrows and an olive branch. The eagle is a classic symbol of freedom, while the bundle of arrows and olive branch represent the nation's pursuit of peace and readiness to protect its liberties. The surrounding wreath enhances this patriotic message. The inscriptions read: “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and “ONE DOLLAR.”
Peace Dollar Design
The obverse design features Liberty in profile, modeled after de Francisci's wife. She is wearing a radiant crown that beams light, embodying hope for peace and renewal. The inscription "LIBERTY" is prominently featured, cresting over her head. The inscriptions "IN GOD WE TRUST" and the date of issuance are also featured on the obverse.
The reverse design features a tranquil yet powerful image of an eagle resting on a rock, gazing off toward the horizon. Within its talons, the eagle clutches an olive branch, a long-standing symbol of peace. This depiction of the American eagle differs from more traditional images of an eagle in motion or an aggressive posture. The inscriptions read: "PEACE," "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "E PLURIBUS UNUM," and "ONE DOLLAR."
