Background & Significance

The original Morgan Silver Dollar, named after its designer George T. Morgan, is a cornerstone of American numismatic history. Minted off and on from 1878 all the way to 1921, these coins carry a legacy that’s as rich as the silver they’re made from. This 2024 Flowing Hair Medal celebrates 230 years of that heritage, highlighting the graceful liberty profile and classic eagle motifs that numismatists hold dear.
