The Morgan Dollar was replaced with the Peace Dollar in December 1921, signifying peace between the United States and Germany, after Treasury Secretary Andrew Mellon approved its design. The Peace Dollar, created by eminent Italian American sculptor Anthony de Francisci (1887–1964), represented the nation's emergence as a major world power while honoring the sacrifices made by its people during World War I and celebrating triumph and peace.
The Peace Dollar, which was reintroduced in 2021, has a stunning uncirculated finish.
The profile of Liberty is seen on the obverse (heads side), and she is wearing a brilliant crown. "LIBERTY," "IN GOD WE TRUST," and the year of issuance are inscribed on the reverse. A resting eagle holding an olive branch is shown on the reverse (tails) above the word "PEACE."
The Peace Silver Dollar is the final silver coin for general circulation produced by the United States Mint and the federal government. Coins were first released as a celebration of world peace following World War I and were minted at the Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco Mints from 1921 to 1928 and from 1934 to 1935.
The Peace Dollar coin came with a Certificate of Authenticity. The coin is encapsulated and presented inside a black box from the United States Mint. Like all coins struck at the Philadelphia Mint, there is no mint mark that appears on the coin.
I hope to see you again soon!
