The 1922-P Peace Silver Dollar is a cornerstone issue of the beloved Peace Dollar series. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, 1922 marked the first full year of production for the series and the first year featuring the modified low relief design, making it the most plentiful and widely collected issue of the type. Authorized to commemorate the restoration of peace following World War I, the Peace Dollar remains a popular and historically significant coin among collectors worldwide.
Composed of 90% silver and 10% copper, this classic silver dollar contains approximately 0.7734 troy ounces of pure silver. The obverse features a striking left-facing portrait of Lady Liberty wearing a radiant crown, inspired by the designer's wife, Teresa de Francisci, along with the inscriptions "LIBERTY," "IN GOD WE TRUST," and the date "1922." The reverse displays a majestic eagle resting on a rock, clutching an olive branch, with the word "PEACE" inscribed below, surrounded by "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and "ONE DOLLAR." Designed by Anthony de Francisci, the Peace Silver Dollar is celebrated as one of the most beautiful American coin designs.
