George T. Morgan created both designs used on the Morgan Silver Dollar. His portrayal of Liberty marked a shift in American coin art, offering a more natural and uniquely American image. The fine detailing in her hair and the addition of a Phrygian cap, symbolizing freedom, made Morgan’s Liberty a standout design of its time.

On the obverse of the 1887 Morgan Dollar, you’ll find Lady Liberty in a left-facing profile. She wears a Phrygian cap, a laurel wreath, and a coronet crown. The border of the design features 13 stars representing the original American Colonies.

The reverse of the 1887 Morgan Silver Dollar features a bald eagle shown with its wings spread. Morgan’s heraldic eagle clutches the arrows of war and an olive branch of peace, blending strength and diplomacy in a single image.
