2023 Peace Silver Dollar PROOF 70 by NGC

In December 1921, the new Peace Dollar was approved by Treasury Secretary, Andrew Mellon, replacing the Morgan Dollar and marking peace between the U.S. and Germany. Designed by renowned Italian American Sculptor, Anthony de Francisci, the new silver dollar was minted until 1935, with more than 1 million coins struck in it’s first year. The Peace Dollar symbolized the country’s coming of age as an international power, while recognizing the sacrifices made by its citizens in World War I and celebrating victory and peace.

Reintroduced to commemorate its centennial anniversary in 2021, this 2023 rendition is created through the use of modern technology and historical U.S. Mint assets in .999 fine silver with a beautiful proof finish. The obverse features Liberty in profile, a radiant crown on her head. Obverse inscriptions are “LIBERTY,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and the year of issuance. The reverse depicts an eagle at rest holding an olive branch above the inscription “PEACE.” Additional inscriptions are “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” and “ONE DOLLAR.”
