Obverse

On the obverse side of Morgan Silver Dollar coins is a left-profile bust of Lady Liberty. Her figure as featured here is based on Anna Willess Williams who sat through portrait sessions with designer George T. Morgan to create this bust of Liberty. She wears her hair in a loose bun with a coronet crown and a wreath crown in her hair. Inscriptions include E Pluribus Unum and the date mark on this face of the coin.

Reverse

The reverse face of the Morgan Silver Dollar comes with a unique design of the American heraldic eagle developed in 1878 by George T. Morgan for the Silver Dollar. The design depicts only the American bald eagle, without the heraldic shield, as it clutches arrows in one talon and an olive branch in the other.

History

George T. Morgan was British by birth and had previously sought employment with the Royal Mint of England. Finding no jobs available, he came to America to work as an apprentice at the Philadelphia Mint and eventually created the design of the Silver Dollar when it was reintroduced into production in 1878. The design became synonymous with his name and remains known to this day as the Morgan Silver Dollar. It was produced from 1878 to 1904 and again 11 months in 1921.
