Obverse
The obverse of this 1897 Morgan Dollar Coin showcases the elegant Lady Liberty. George T. Morgan, the coin’s designer, drew inspiration from a Philadelphia schoolteacher named Anna Williams, creating a left-profile depiction featuring Liberty adorned with the iconic Phrygian cap. Inscriptions read LIBERTY, 1897, and E PLURIBUS UNUM.
Reverse
On the reverse, the 1897 Morgan Silver Coin presents a majestic heraldic eagle, also designed by George T. Morgan. This striking image portrays an eagle preparing to take flight, clutching a bundle of arrows and an olive branch in its talons. Distinctive markings surround this emblematic image. Inscriptions include UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, ONE DOLLAR, and IN GOD WE TRUST.
History
Morgan Dollar Silver Coins made their debut in 1878, with annual releases until 1904. After a brief hiatus, they returned for a single year in 1921, and again in 2021.
