The 1922-S Peace Silver Dollar is a classic and highly collectible issue from the iconic Peace Dollar series. Struck at the San Francisco Mint during the first full year of Peace Dollar production, this coin represents the transition to the lower-relief design that would characterize the rest of the series. Struck to commemorate the restoration of peace following World War I, the Peace Dollar remains a favorite among collectors for its beautiful design and historical significance. The 1922-S is a widely collected issue that offers an accessible entry point into this popular series.
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, modeled after the designer's wife, Teresa de Francisci. The inscriptions “LIBERTY,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and the date “1922” surround the portrait. The reverse displays a majestic bald eagle resting on a rock, holding an olive branch, with the word “PEACE” inscribed below. The “S” mint mark of the San Francisco Mint is located on the reverse, just below the word “ONE” in the denomination. Designed by Anthony de Francisci, the Peace Silver Dollar is celebrated as a masterpiece of American numismatic art.
