1925 Peace Silver Dollar (Obverse)

This item is the obverse side of a 1925 Peace Silver Dollar, an American coin renowned for its symbolic design. The coin is circular and appears to be made of silver, exhibiting the characteristic metallic gray hue and some natural toning, which suggests an uncleaned state or minimal handling outside of its protective transparent plastic two-by-two holder. The obverse features a left-facing profile of Lady Liberty, her image emanating 'rays' suggestive of a halo or sunburst, symbolizing peace and enlightenment. She wears a radiate crown, and her flowing hair is intricately rendered. The word 'LIBERTY' is inscribed across the top rim of the coin, partially obscured by the plastic holder at the very top. The motto 'IN GOD WE TRUST' is visible towards the lower left of Liberty's profile, with 'GOD WE' clearly legible and 'IN' partially visible. The date '1925' is prominently displayed at the bottom of the coin. The relief of the design appears fairly sharp, indicating a decent strike, though some details, particularly in the hair and crown rays, might show minor wear consistent with circulation or age. There are no obvious deep scratches or significant damage, but the coin's surface shows some light, consistent handling marks or bag marks. The rim appears intact, and the reeding on the edge is partially visible through the plastic. The coin is encased within a standard clear plastic flip or holder, which itself appears to have some minor wear or scuffing on its surface, but is otherwise generally intact and serving its protective purpose. This coin represents a classic piece of American numismatic history, first minted to commemorate the end of World War I.
