The Legacy Behind the Design

This medal tips its hat to the iconic Morgan Silver Dollar, a classic designed by George T. Morgan. First minted way back from 1878 to 1904, and then again in 1921, these coins have long been cherished across the U.S. for their rich detail and historic charm. The Flowing Hair label on this modern commemorative takes us right back to those early days, reminding us of the artistry that made the Morgan dollar a household name.
