1922 U.S. Peace Dollar

The Peace Dollars were first struck in 1921 through 1928 to commemorate the end of
World War I and struck again in 1934-35. The coin was also minted in a limited number in 1965 with a 1964 date, but the coins for that year were melted down and never released for circulation. The obverse features a profile of Miss Liberty, the reverse depicts a perched American eagle on a rock, while standing on a olive branch (symbolizing peace). The coin was designed by Anthony de Francisci. It was minted at the Philadelphia Mint from 1921 to 1935, the San Francisco Mint from 1922 to 1935 and the Denver Mint in 1922-23, 26-27, 34 and 1965 (w/64 dates). The Peace Dollar was the last silver dollar struck for public circulation in the U.S.
