It depends on which “Liberty Dollar” coin you are referring to, as there have been various U.S. dollar coins throughout history that feature Lady Liberty in some form.
Here are some examples of Liberty Dollar coins and who is depicted on them:
- Morgan Silver Dollar: Features a profile of Lady Liberty on the obverse, modeled after Anna Willess Williams, a Philadelphia school teacher.
- Peace Silver Dollar: Shows Liberty wearing a spiked headdress, similar to that found on the Statue of Liberty. This design was created by Anthony de Francisci, using his wife as the model.
- Flowing Hair Dollar: Depicts Lady Liberty with long, flowing hair.
- Seated Liberty Dollar: Features Liberty seated on a rock, holding a shield inscribed with “LIBERTY” and a liberty cap on a pole.
- Trade Dollar: Displays a seated Liberty holding a banner that says “Liberty”.
- American Silver Eagle: Based on Adolph A. Weinman’s classic “Walking Liberty” half dollar design, featuring Miss Liberty walking to her right, holding olive branches.
It’s important to note that coins sometimes referred to as “Liberty Dollars” or “Liberty Silver Dollars” may not be legal tender issued by the U.S. Mint. For example, NORFED manufactured medallions that bear inscriptions and imagery similar to U.S. coinage, but these are not legal tender, and using them as such is considered a federal crime.
Whose face is on the Liberty dollar?
Thanks for asking. The Morgan Silver Dollar is a classic piece of American coinage that features a profile of Lady Liberty on its obverse. Designed by George T. Morgan, Liberty was modeled after Anna Willess William who was a Philadelphia school teacher.
Who is the person on a one dollar coin?
I can help with that. The U.S. dollar coin features Sacagawea, a Shoshone woman who was a crucial interpreter and guide for the Lewis and Clark Expedition.
