Description
The Flowing Hair 230th Anniversary Silver Medal from the U.S. Mint pays homage to the Flowing Hair dollar coin, the first dollar coin issued by the U.S. Federal government on October 15, 1794. Struck at the Mint's Philadelphia facility, this historic medal is 99.9% fine silver with an uncirculated finish. The medal is encapsulated and placed in a stylish clamshell. A classic black presentation case embellished with the United States Mint seal and an outer sleeve with a silver embossed image of the Flowing Hair Liberty complete the packaging. A certificate of authenticity with matching imagery accompanies each medal. Mintage is limited to 75,000.
The obverse design is a faithful rendition of the first dollar coin, designed and sculpted by Robert Scot, the Mint's first Chief Engraver. The portrait of Liberty faces right and is surrounded by 15 stars, representing the 15 states that had ratified the Constitution by 1794. The design retains the "LIBERTY" inscription and includes an updated "2024" date. The reverse design stays true to the 1794 original, depicting a laurel wreath surrounding an eagle with spread wings in the center, an early predecessor of the American heraldic eagle. The inscription is "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA."
