1881-S Morgan Silver Dollar – San Francisco Mint

The 1881-S Morgan Silver Dollar is a classic example of America's historic silver dollar coinage, struck at the San Francisco Mint during the early years of the Morgan Dollar series.

The obverse features a left-facing portrait of Lady Liberty wearing a Phrygian cap adorned with cotton and wheat, surrounded by thirteen stars and the motto “E PLURIBUS UNUM.” The reverse showcases a majestic American eagle with outstretched wings, clutching arrows and an olive branch, symbolizing strength and peace.
