Obverse

The obverse of the 1886 Morgan Silver Dollar features a portrait of Lady Liberty facing left. George T. Morgan is believed to have used Anna Willes Williams as the inspiration for this design. Liberty wears a Phrygian cap and a laurel wreath, with a coronet resting atop her head. She is surrounded by 13 stars, symbolizing the original colonies.

Reverse

On the reverse of the 1886 Morgan Dollar, you will find a heraldic eagle in front-facing relief with its wings extended. Morgans eagle design is unique, as it does not include a national shield. Instead, the eagle is depicted holding arrows of war in one talon and an olive branch of peace in the other.

History
