Obverse
The obverse of the 1880-S Morgan Dollar features a left-facing profile of Lady Liberty wearing a Phrygian cap. Designed by George T. Morgan, the image includes 13 stars around Liberty, representing the original colonies. The inspiration for this Liberty design came from Anna Williams, a teacher from Philadelphia.
