Enhance your collection with the latest impressive release from the United States Mint! 2024 marks the 230th Anniversary of the Flowing Hair dollar, the first ever dollar coin made by the newly created United States of America in 1794. To celebrate, the U.S. Mint released a special recreation of the coin as a silver medal. The obverse and reverse designs have been meticulously recreated by modern metallic artists to create a true replica of this historic dollar coin.
The Coinage Act of 1792 allowed for the creation of the United States Mint. After the new nation adopted the dollar as the nationalized currency, the Mint's first chief engraver Robert Scot created the Flowing Hair dollar coin inspired by the Flowing Hair cent that was created the year prior. With a beautiful bust of Lady Liberty with graceful flowing hair on the obverse and a majestic eagle surrounded by a wreath on the reverse, the Flowing Hair dollar design is a pure piece of American history.
This 230th Anniversary Flowing Hair Silver Medal brings to life this iconic dollar in 1 troy ounce of 99.9% pure silver, with 2024 as the date on the obverse.
