A major turning point in American history took shape in a change in the nation’s coinage in 1921. It was the last year of issue for the Morgan silver dollar, which had symbolized the country’s age of westward expansion, and it was the first year of the Peace silver dollar that represented America’s emergence on the international stage. The hundredth anniversary of this change saw the issue of numerous Morgan and Peace silver dollars, with one of the most eye-catching being the 2021 Cook Islands Morgan and Peace Dollar 1 oz Silver Coin.

Reverse

The reverse side of the coin shows images of Lady Liberty from the Morgan and Peace dollars united in celebration, toasting each other with champagne, their glasses and robes decorated with selective touches of gilding. They’re accompanied by the inscriptions “Morgan,” “Peace” and “1921.”

Obverse

The obverse side blends American and British Commonwealth imagery. It’s dominated by an American eagle with the inscription “E Pluribus Unum,” with an inset profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II surrounded by the inscriptions “Elizabeth II,” “1 Dollar,” “Cook Islands” and “2021.”

History

A commonplace image on American coinage of a certain era was Lady Liberty, who symbolized the nation’s fortunes in various ways in different contexts. On the Morgan silver dollar, she wore the humble cap of a pioneer woman, signifying her connection to the settlement of the West. On the Peace silver dollar, she bore the radiant crown that signified the country’s full emergence as a power on the world stage. The combination of both designs on this coin in ultra high-relief form is made possible by Smartminting technology.
