1925-S Peace Silver Dollar AU

Low-Mintage 1925 Peace Silver Dollars

Boasting one of America’s most classic designs, America’s Peace Silver Dollar series was the nation’s last silver dollars struck for circulation in 90% silver. This Peace Dollar is from 1925—a year which saw mintages fall off a cliff from previous years, going from 84.3 million and 56.6 million coins in 1922 and 1923, to just 11.8 million in 1925—and these 1925-S coins are among the lowest mintages for San Francisco Mint Peace Dollars, with just 1.610 million struck that year representing only 13.6% of the entire year’s mintage!

The Designer Of America’s Fabled Peace Dollar

The Peace Silver Dollar was designed by 33-year-old Italian-American sculptor Anthony De Francisci, who used his wife, Teresa Cafarelli, as his model for Lady Liberty. The design presents Lady Liberty wearing a crown of rays on the obverse while the reverse features an eagle holding the olive branches of peace, rather than the typical olive branches and arrows of war. The coin’s original reverse showed an eagle breaking a sword to symbolize disarmament at the end of the war. Mint officials were concerned this depiction would signify defeat and had the sword removed. The result was a beautiful symbol of peace for the ages!

Each of these wonderful coins comes in nice collector-grade About Uncirculated (AU) condition. Coin experts estimate that as few as 16% of Peace Dollars exist today in any condition. Act now! These won’t last!
