The Legacy of the Morgan Silver Dollar

Now, while this here medal is a modern commemorative, it draws inspiration from a real classic: the Morgan Silver Dollar. Named after its designer, George T.

• Design featuring Liberty herself, wearing a Phrygian cap that symbolizes freedom.
• Mint Marks from places like Carson City, San Francisco, Denver, and Philadelphia, each with its own tale to tell.
