The Peace Silver Dollar made its first appearance in December 1921, created to commemorate the hard-won peace following World War I. Designed by Italian-American sculptor Anthony de Francisci, the coin featured a striking profile of Liberty modeled after his wife Teresa, with her hair flowing freely and crowned with a radiant tiara. In 2021, the US Mint revived the Peace Dollar as a commemorative silver bullion coin with .999 pure silver content to honor the centennial of its first issue. Right now, 2021 Peace Silver Dollar Coins are available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each 2021 Peace Silver Dollar Coin available here comes in a protective plastic capsule. The Peace Silver Dollar was the final 90% silver dollar produced for circulation in the United States. It was originally available from 1921 to 1928, and again in 1934 and 1935. Its return in 2021 marked a new era, with the coin now issued as a bullion specimen for investors and collectors.
Peace Silver Dollar production occurred in two distinct periods, reflecting the economic fluctuations of the era. From 1921 through 1928, the coins were minted regularly at Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco facilities, with varying mintages that make certain years and mint marks particularly prized by collectors today. After a six-year hiatus, production briefly resumed in 1934 and 1935 in response to silver purchase legislation, marking the final chapter of regular-issue silver dollar coinage before the denomination disappeared from circulation for decades.
The obverse of the 2021 Peace Dollar Coin features a left-facing portrait of Lady Liberty. This design marked a departure from the earlier Morgan Dollar image used during the late 19th century and instead showcased Liberty wearing a tall, spiked crown that resembles rays of sunlight. Teresa de Francisci, the wife of the coin’s designer, served as the model for Liberty’s facial features, continuing the personal connection established with the original 1921 release.
On the reverse of the 2021 Peace Silver Dollar is an image of a bald eagle at rest. The eagle is shown perched on a rock engraved with the word “PEACE” while holding an olive branch in its talons. Rays of sunlight extend upward from the bottom of the design, reinforcing the theme of peace achieved after years of conflict. This updated reverse was created to emphasize the significance of World War I’s conclusion and the lasting value of peace.
