One of the most famous American coin designs of the 19th century came from the artwork of a British artist-engraver who had been at the US Mint for just a year when he created the coins. Issued from 1878 to 1904 and again in 1921, the US silver dollar known as the Morgan Dollar Silver Coin was designed by George T. Morgan.

Obverse

Lady Liberty is featured in left-profile relief on the obverse of the 1921 Morgan Dollar Silver Coins.

The design field includes inscriptions of Liberty and 1921, along with 13 stars.

Reverse

The heraldic eagle of the United States is shown on the reverse field of 1921 Morgan Dollars. George T. Morgan also created this design of the American heraldic eagle with no shield included in the design element. The bird is in front-facing relief and is shown clutching the arrows of war and olive branch of peace. The design comes with inscriptions of United States of America, In God We Trust, and One Dollar.

History

George T. Morgan was an artist-engraver born in Birmingham, England. Finding no jobs available at the Royal Mint of England, Morgan came to the United States in 1876 and was hired within months by William Barber, then the 5th Chief Engraver of the United States Mint. Within the first year of his career at the US Mint, Morgan would develop these images for the Morgan Dollar. Morgan would serve as an engraver through the leadership of William Barber and Charles E. Barber, and complete his career as the 7th Chief Engraver of the United States Mint from 1917 until his death in 1925.
