Peace Dollar
The Peace dollar is an U. S. dollar coin that was produced for 
circulation from 1921 to 1928, as well as in 1934 and 1935, and 
will be reintroduced in 2021. The coin, developed by Anthony de 
Francisci, was the conclusion of a competition to discover designs 
that represented peace. The obverse features the Goddess of 
Liberty's head and neck in profile, while the reverse depicts a bald 
eagle at rest clutching an olive branch with the word "Peace." This 
was the final silver dollar coin produced for circulation in the U.s.
Coin collectors lobbied the U.S. Mint to create a coin 
commemorating the peace after World War I. The Pittman Act of 
1918 ordered the US Mint to hammer millions of silver dollars, 
which it began doing in 1921 using the Morgan dollar pattern.
Treasury Secretary Andrew Mellon approved the Peace dollar in 
December 1921.
Design History
De Francisci was the younger of the contestants at 34 
years old, and he also had the minimum expertise in 
the field of coin design. Unlike the majority of the 
others, de Francisci's sole involvement had been the 
translation of designs for the 1920 Maine 
commemorative half dollar to the final work. De 
Francisci had exercised little judgement in that 
endeavour, and later stated, "I do not regard it very 
positively."
Teresa Cafarelli was born Teresa de Francisci in 
Naples, Italy. She was five years old when she struck a 
pose for the Statue of Liberty. Later, she wrote to her 
brother Rocco about the statue and how she had 
fallen in love with it.
