The Peace dollar is a United States silver dollar coin minted from 1921 to 1928, in 1934 and 1935 at which point demand for the dollar was low, and the silver supply resulting from the Pittman Act ran out. It was minted one last time prior to World War II, with the passage of what was referred to as the Silver Purchase Act of 1934. The coinage was short-lived, lasting only through 1935. The design of the Peace Dollar was selected by the Commission of Fine Arts from models submitted by a number of prominent sculptors. The final coin was the result of a competition to find designs emblematic of peace. They chose the work of notable Italian American artist Anthony de Francisci. In December 1921, Treasury Secretary Andrew Mellon approved the Peace Dollar to replace the Morgan Dollar. The Peace Dollar commemorated the declaration of peace between the United States and Germany. The Mint made more than one million Peace Dollars in less than one month. Six months later nearly 25 million Peace Dollars had been minted. Its obverse represents the head and neck of the Goddess of Liberty in profile wearing a tiara of light rays which is emblematic of Liberty. The reverse depicts a bald eagle at rest perched on a mountain top, holding an olive branch in its talons, witnessing the dawn of a new day, with the legend "Peace". It was the last United States dollar coin to be struck for circulation in silver.
