This 230th anniversary medal revives that iconic imagery with a refined silver composition, making it a must-have for collectors who appreciate both history and artistry.

Connection to the Morgan Silver Dollar

While this medal celebrates the Flowing Hair design, it also echoes the legacy of the famed Morgan Silver Dollar. Designed by George T. Morgan and minted from 1878 to 1904, then again in 1921, the Morgan Dollar remains one of the most beloved U.S. coins. Its depiction of Liberty and the detailed eagle resonate with collectors nationwide.
