1921 Peace Dollar
Anthony DeFrancisci designed the Peace silver dollar, and it was first produced in December 1921. The United States Mint also produced a substantial mintage of 1921 dated Morgan silver dollars. The idea to commemorate the peace that followed the “Great War” was first proposed by Farran Zerbe, former President of the American Numismatic Association from 1908 to 1910.
The idea caught on, and DeFrancisci produced a beautiful design emblematic of liberty on the obverse and peace symbolized by an American Eagle on the reverse.
