SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
The Congress finds that following: 
(1) In December 1921, the Peace silver dollar 
was approved by Treasury Secretary Andrew Mellon, 
replacing the Morgan silver dollar and commemo-
rating the declaration of peace between the United 
States and the Imperial German government. 
(2) The Peace silver dollar was minted in Phila-
delphia, Denver and San Francisco. The Morgan sil-
ver dollar was minted at Philadelphia, Denver, San 
Francisco, Carson City, and New Orleans. 
(3) The Peace silver dollar was designed by An-
thony de Francisci with the Goddess of Liberty on 
the obverse and a bald eagle clutching the olive 
branch (a symbol of peace) on the reverse. The 
Peace silver dollars were minted between 1921 to 
1935. 
(4) The Morgan silver dollar was designed by 
George T. Morgan and was minted from 1878 to 
1904, and again in 1921. The obverse depicts a pro-
file portrait of Lady Liberty and on the reverse, a 
heraldic eagle. 
(5) The conversion from the Morgan silver dol-

pansion and industrial development in the late 19th 
century. The Peace silver dollar symbolizes the coun-
try’s coming of age as an international power while 
recognizing the sacrifices made by her citizens in 
World War I and celebrating the victory and peace 
that ensued. 
(6) These iconic silver dollars with vastly dif-
ferent representations of Lady Liberty and the 
American Eagle, reflect a changing of the guard in 
1921 in the United States and therefore on the 
100th anniversary must begin to be minted again to 
commemorate this significant evolution of American 
freedom.
