Significance and relevance of 1923 silver dollar design
The peace dollar was produced five years after the end of the 1st world war to signify a renewed hope of peaceful coexistence.
The coin has also a significant influence on the designer, Anthony de Francisco. During his wife’s early school days, Teresa was denied a chance to act as American goodness in a school play.
Teresa was always upset during occasional cruises when she would see New York’s Statue of Liberty. To make his wife feel better, Anthony took the chance to fulfill his wife’s long-term dream; to be an American model.
Anthony, therefore, used his wife as a model for the 1923 silver dollar design.
