2021 Virgin Island 100 YEAR OF MORGAN N PEACE Dollar 1 Oz Silver Gilded Coin.DESCRIPTION
Celebrating the 100thanniversary of the last Morgan Dollar and first Peace Dollar.
The United States Mint completed the last overhaul of its 19th century coin designs. The US penny, Gold Eagle denominations, the quarter, the dime, and the half dollar had all been brilliantly redesigned by 1921.
The Morgan dollar was minted from 1878 to 1904 and then again in 1921.
The coin was named after its designer,United States Mint Chief Engraver George T. Morgan, and the obverse depicts a profile portrait representing Liberty.
George T. Morgan was born in Birmingham,England, where he worked as a die engraver.
The Peace Dollar was minted from 1921 to 1928 and then again in 1934 and 1935.
It was designed byAnthony de Franciscias a result of a competition to find designs representing Peace.
The design showed the head of the goddess of Liberty in profile.
The design on this brand-new coin shows the two profile images of the portrait representing Liberty and the portrait of the goddess of Liberty representing Peace.
The dates 1921 2021 are shown beneath the two busts.
The coin has been produced with the center and incused inscriptionGoldclad. In 1876, the US Mint Director began efforts to redesign the US silver dollar.
He contacted the Deputy Master of the Royal Mintin London, looking for a die-sinker who would be willing to take the position of Assistant Engraver at the US Mint.
George T. Morgan was highly recommended and he began working for the US Mint.
In 1917 he became the Chief Engraver until he died in 1925.
Therefore, an English engraver, who worked at the British Royal Mint, was behind the design of the most famous silver dollar.
