The silver dollar has long been a familiar and well-liked denomination from the United States Mint. While these coins once played a role in everyday circulation, the 1930s marked the end of that era. In more recent decades, silver dollars have found new life as part of the US Mints commemorative programs.

Designs

The obverse design on each commemorative silver dollar depends on the specific program and year of issue. These designs typically feature portraits or imagery that reflect the individual, event, or theme being honored by the coin.

Reverse designs are also unique to each release and are created to support the overall theme of the program. These designs often include symbolic elements, buildings, landscapes, or inscriptions connected to the subject of the commemorative issue.

A notable example you may receive is the 1990 Eisenhower Centennial Dollar. This coin was issued to honor the 100th anniversary of Dwight D. Eisenhowers birth in 1890. The obverse displays two images of Eisenhower, one showing him as Supreme Allied Commander in Europe during World War II and the other portraying him later in life as President of the United States. The reverse features his home located near Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.

History

Commemorative coins returned in the modern era with a 1982 half dollar celebrating the 250th anniversary of George Washingtons birth. Beginning in 1983, the US Mint expanded the program by introducing commemorative silver dollars. This format quickly became the most popular option, and most years since then have included at least one $1 US Mint Commemorative Silver Coin.
