Own an iconic piece of American numismatic history with the 1921 Silver Peace Dollar High Relief VG–XF, a coin that symbolizes the end of war and the hope for lasting peace. Struck from .900 fine silver at the Philadelphia Mint, this first-year issue holds a special place in U.S. coinage as the only Peace Dollar produced in high relief, making it one of the most sought-after designs among collectors.

The Peace Dollar series was introduced in 1921, following World War I, as a national symbol of renewal and unity. Designed by the Italian-American sculptor Anthony de Francisci, the coin’s obverse features a stunning portrait of Lady Liberty, inspired by the artist’s wife, Teresa de Francisci. She wears a radiant crown of light, representing freedom and optimism for a new era.

The 1921 Peace Dollar is particularly distinctive due to its high-relief strike, a feature that gives the design incredible depth and texture but proved difficult to mass-produce. Because of this, later issues were modified to lower relief, making the 1921 edition a true standout in U.S. Mint history.
