The Certified Peace Silver Dollar 1921 MS63 ANACS (B) represents a pivotal moment in American numismatic history, marking the introduction of a new era of coinage following the end of World War I.
Following the devastation of World War I, the United States sought to commemorate the peace achieved after the conflict with a new silver dollar coin. The Peace Silver Dollar series, authorized by the Pittman Act of 1918, featured a design by sculptor Anthony de Francisci. The obverse of the coin showcases a portrait of Lady Liberty wearing a radiant crown of rays, symbolizing enlightenment and hope. The reverse features an eagle perched on a rock, clutching an olive branch, representing peace.
The Peace Silver Dollar was first minted in 1921 at the Philadelphia Mint, denoted by the absence of a mint mark. The Philadelphia Mint played a central role in producing coinage for circulation and commemorative purposes, contributing to the nation's economic stability and growth.
The mintage of the 1921 Peace Silver Dollar was substantial, with a total of over 1 million coins struck. This initial mintage reflects the high demand for the new coin and its significance as a symbol of peace and recovery in the aftermath of World War I.
The coin's denomination of one dollar made it a vital part of everyday commerce and trade in the United States during the early 20th century. The Peace Silver Dollar circulated alongside other denominations, providing liquidity and stability to the nation's monetary system.
