Additional Description: The 1892 Silver Morgan Dollar from the New Orleans Mint reflects both the artistry and historical context of late nineteenth-century American coinage. George T. Morgan’s design portrays Liberty in profile, her youthful features framed by a crown of wheat and cotton, while the reverse eagle spreads its wings, clutching arrows and an olive branch to convey strength and peace.
The O mintmark beneath the wreath identifies its New Orleans origin, a mint that historically supplied much of the Southern United States with circulating coinage. Composed of 90 percent silver and 10 percent copper, the dollar balances practical value with refined design.
The 1892 New Orleans issue is valued for its quality of strike and historical resonance. Well-preserved examples reveal crisp detail and a pleasing luster, providing a tangible connection to the economic and cultural life of the United States at the turn of the decade.
