The Peace dollar was the first US coin to commemorate peace in the country! After the Pittman Act of 1918 passed, the US Mint was required to mint millions of silver dollars, from domestic silver, to fulfill the bill. The Mint first used the Morgan dollar's design, since it was ready to go, but after much lobbying, a new design was selected. The Goddess of Liberty is portrayed on the obverse, while an eagle holding an olive branch is on the reverse. The Goddess of Liberty has been used on currency since before the Roman Empire and the olive branch internationally represents peace. Your 1924 Peace dollar was minted at the Philadelphia Mint and is 90% silver. Your coin is also considered to be in almost uncirculated condition, which still contains some of its original mint luster but exhibits slight wear on Liberty and the eagle.
