The Legacy of the Morgan Silver Dollar

Though this medal honors the Flowing Hair design, it’s worth noting the Morgan Silver Dollar’s spot in American numismatic lore. Named after its designer George T. Morgan, the Morgan Dollar was minted between 1878 and 1904, then again briefly in 1921.

These coins are iconic for their detailed artistry and historical weight, with many minted in Carson City, San Francisco, Denver, and Philadelphia. Morgan Dollars showcase:

• A profile of Liberty wearing a Phrygian cap, symbolizing freedom.
• The inscription "E Pluribus Unum" and thirteen stars for the original colonies.
• A reverse featuring a bald eagle clutching an olive branch and arrows, embodying peace and readiness.
• A reeded edge adding to the tactile experience.
