Peace Silver Dollar 2023 Proof Coin
The Peace Silver Dollar was first struck from 1921-1928 to mark the end of World War I and the nation’s hope for peace. This iconic silver dollar illustrates that sentiment on its reverse which features an eagle clutching an olive branch symbolizing the nation’s return to peacetime.
This legacy continues with the Peace Silver Dollar Proof Coin that showcases the exquisite craftsmanship that the United States mint has to offer. Proof coins are hand treated, polished, and struck at least twice, giving them a frosted foreground and stunning mirror-like background.
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 to commemorate its centennial anniversary in 2021, the Peace Dollar has a beautiful proof 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.”
