In December 1921, the Peace Dollar design was approved by Treasury
Secretary Andrew Mellon, replacing the Morgan Dollar and marking peace
between the U.S. and Germany. Designed by renowned Italian American
Sculptor Anthony de Francisci (1887- 1964), the Peace Dollar symbolized
the country’s coming of age as an international power, while recognizing
the sacrifices made by its citizens in World War I and celebrating
victory and peace. Reintroduced in 2021, the Peace Dollar has a
beautiful uncirculated finish. The obverse (heads side) features Liberty
in profile, a radiant crown on her head. Obverse inscriptions are
“LIBERTY,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and the year of issuance. The reverse
(tails) depicts an eagle at rest holding an olive branch above the
inscription “PEACE.” Additional inscriptions are “UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” and “ONE DOLLAR.”
