Additional Description: The 1922-1923 Peace Silver Dollars from the Philadelphia and San Francisco mints represent the post-World War I optimism and the nation’s celebration of peace. Designed by Anthony de Francisci, the obverse features a striking profile of Liberty, her crown of rays evoking both classical dignity and modern aspiration. The reverse presents a perched bald eagle clutching an olive branch, symbolizing the hard-won tranquility after the Great War, with the word “PEACE” boldly inscribed below. These coins, struck in 90 percent silver, were minted in large numbers, yet the differences between Philadelphia and San Francisco issues, particularly the “S” mintmark on the latter, offer points of interest for collectors. The surfaces of well-preserved examples retain original luster, with sharp detail in Liberty’s hair and the eagle’s feathers, reflecting the quality of early 1920s minting. Together, the 1922 and 1923 Peace Dollars capture a nation’s aspiration for stability and harmony. Each coin is more than currency; it is a sculptural testament to hope, artistry, and the enduring symbolism of American ideals in silver form.
