The Morgan Dollar was minted from 1878 to 1904, and again in 1921. It was designed by George T Morgan of the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia. He used a local school teacher named Anna Williams as his model when designing the Lady Liberty profile. Even though it was (obviously) a fully-clothed sitting, just of her head, "proper" women just did NOT sit for artists. When word got out, she lost her job, but due to the publicity was able to secure another teaching position.

The obverse of the Morgan Dollar shows Miss Williams as Lady Liberty, wearing a Phrygian cap with the word LIBERTY emblazoned on the front. She wears a wreath of wheat and cotton, the two top agricultural products of the United States. Above her is the motto "E Pluribus Unum", and below her is the year date. The reverse features the American Bald Eagle in heraldic pose. The legend "In God We Trust" spans between the eagle's wings, while a laurel wreath encircles the lower part of the scene. "United States of America" and the face value of "One Dollar" run along the border.
