About the 230th Anniversary Flowing Hair Medal

This medal commemorates a rich American heritage, celebrating 230 years with a design inspired by the legendary Flowing Hair dollars. It’s a nod to the early days of U.S. coinage, capturing the spirit of freedom and craftsmanship from the late 18th century.

The Legacy Behind the Morgan Silver Dollar

While this medal celebrates the Flowing Hair design, it’s worth noting the Morgan Silver Dollar’s place in our numismatic history. Named after its designer, George T. Morgan, these silver dollars were minted from 1878 to 1904 and had a brief revival in 1921. They remain a favorite among collectors for their iconic symbolism and artistry.
