The Legacy of the Flowing Hair Label

This modern commemorative celebrates the rich tradition of American coinage, inspired by the classic Flowing Hair design that was first used in the late 18th century. The 230th Anniversary Medal honors that heritage with a fresh 2024 twist, blending historical charm with modern minting excellence.

The Morgan Silver Dollar Connection

Though this medal is a modern piece, it draws deep inspiration from the famed Morgan Silver Dollar, named after George T. Morgan. Minted from 1878 to 1904 and again briefly in 1921, the Morgan Dollar remains one of the most cherished coins in the United States. Its iconic design features:

• Obverse: Liberty’s profile adorned with a Phrygian cap and the word “Liberty” inscribed on her hair band.
• Reverse: A majestic bald eagle clutching an olive branch and arrows, symbolizing peace and strength.
• Mint marks including Carson City (CC), San Francisco (S), Denver (D), and Philadelphia (no mint mark).
