United States Peace Silver Dollar (Reverse)

This item is the reverse side of a United States Peace Silver Dollar, minted between 1921 and 1935. The coin is composed of 90 percent silver and 10 percent copper, with a standard diameter of approximately 38.1 millimeters. The reverse design by Anthony de Francisci features a majestic bald eagle perched on a mountain crag, clutching an olive branch, symbolizing peace. In the background, the sun's rays radiate upward. The inscriptions include 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA' and 'E PLURIBUS UNUM' at the top, 'PEACE' at the base on the rock, and 'ONE DOLLAR' split by the eagle. The coin exhibits a bright metallic luster with noticeable surface abrasions, hairline scratches, and light contact marks consistent with circulation. There are no signs of heavy corrosion or significant edge dings, though the strike appears moderately sharp on the eagle's feathers. No mint mark is immediately visible in this view, which would typically be located near the eagle's tail feathers if minted in San Francisco or Denver; lack of a mark indicates the Philadelphia mint. This piece represents a significant era in American numismatic history following World War I.
