On October 15, 1794, the United States Mint released the nation’s very first dollar coin. Known as the Flowing Hair Dollar, this historic piece showcased a design from the Mint’s inaugural Chief Engraver, Robert Scot, presenting Liberty in right-profile relief with her hair flowing freely. In 2024, the US Mint commemorates the 230th anniversary of this important milestone with a special gold release.

The Flowing Hair Dollar, struck in 1794 and 1795, holds the distinction of being the first official silver dollar produced by the United States federal government. The coin’s obverse displayed Liberty with flowing hair, symbolizing the youthful spirit of freedom, while the reverse featured an eagle surrounded by a wreath. Despite its short mintage period at the Philadelphia Mint, with a total of roughly 160,000 coins struck, the Flowing Hair Dollar played a vital role in establishing the young nation’s financial independence.
