Additional Description: The 1896 Silver Morgan Dollar from the New Orleans Mint exemplifies the craftsmanship and historical context of late nineteenth-century American coinage. George T. Morgan’s design depicts Liberty in profile, her hair crowned with wheat and cotton to reflect the nation’s agricultural and industrial foundations. The reverse features the American eagle with wings outstretched, clutching arrows and an olive branch, a timeless symbol of strength and peace.
The O mintmark beneath the wreath identifies its New Orleans origin, a mint that supplied much of the Southern United States during this period. Composed of 90 percent silver and 10 percent copper, the coin combines intrinsic value with refined design, offering a tangible connection to both the artistry and economic life of the United States at the close of the nineteenth century.
