Obverse

The obverse of the 1885 Morgan Dollar Coin proudly showcases Lady Liberty. George T. Morgan’s artistic brilliance brings her to life in left-profile relief, adorned with a Phrygian cap. This design was inspired by Anna Williams, a Philadelphia school teacher who posed as the model for Liberty. Inscriptions read E PLURIBUS UNUM, LIBERTY, and 1885.

Reverse

Turning to the reverse of the 1885 Silver Dollar Coin, you’ll find another masterpiece by George T. Morgan. A regal heraldic eagle stands tall, poised for flight. Clutching an olive branch and a bundle of arrows in its talons, it symbolizes the strength and resilience of the United States. Inscriptions include UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, ONE DOLLAR, and IN GOD WE TRUST.

History

The Morgan Silver Dollar legacy began in 1878 and continued annually until 1904. After a brief hiatus, it made a remarkable return in 1921, and most recently in 2021. Coins like this one, without a mint mark, indicate their origin at the Philadelphia Mint, where over 300 million of these coins were meticulously crafted. In total, over 650 million of these coins have been produced in its history.
