Peace Silver Dollars 1921 - 1935 Minted to Celebrate the End of World War I  The "Peace" Silver Dollar is a popular coin among
collectors, and an important part of U.S. coin history. The Peace Dollar
was the last dollar coin ever minted for circulation with a silver
content of 90%. For this reason, many coin collectors cherish the Peace
Dollar as the last genuine American silver dollar.
Creation of the Peace Dollar To commemorate the end of World War I and to honor world peace, the United States created the first Peace Dollar in late December of 1921. This Silver Peace dollar was produced intermittently from 1921 to 1928 and than again in 1934 and 1935 at three of the United States Mint facilities located in Denver, San Francisco, and Philadelphia. The mintmarks on the Peace coin can be found on the reverse side of the coin located below the word ONE. Peace Dollar Design The Peace Silver Dollar was designed by Anthony De Francisci. On the obverse side, the silver coin features a design of Lady Liberty, while the reverse of the Peace Dollar shows a proud image of a standing American Eagle resting on top of a mountain watching the sunset. Many collectors are drawn to the Peace Silver Dollar for its misspelling of the word “Trust.” If you look closely at a Peace Dollar, you will see trust is spelled “TRVST” which is a focal point of interest to coin collectors.
