1. Short title This Act may be cited as the 1921 Silver Dollar Commemorative Coin Act . 2. Findings Congress finds the following: (1) The United States of America entered the First World War when it declared war against Germany on April 6, 1917. (2) The armed hostilities ceased on November 11, 1918, the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month . (3) The First World War effectively ended on June 28, 1919, with the Treaty of Versailles, but the United States Senate failed to ratify that treaty and later ratified a peace agreement with Germany on October 21, 1921. (4) Over 4,700,000 American military personnel served during the First World War with 116,516 sacrificing their lives for freedom and another 204,002 wounded. (5) In December 1921, the Peace silver dollar (in this Act referred to as the Peace dollar ) was approved by Treasury Secretary Andrew Mellon, replacing the Morgan silver dollar (in this Act referred to as the Morgan dollar ) and commemorating the declaration of peace between the United States and the Imperial German government. (6) The Peace dollar was designed by Anthony de Francisci with the Goddess of Liberty on the obverse and a bald eagle clutching the olive branch (a symbol of peace) on the reverse. The Peace dollars were minted between 1921–1935. (7) The Morgan dollar was designed by George T. Morgan and was minted from 1878 to 1904, and again in 1921. The obverse depicts a profile portrait of Lady Liberty and on the reverse, a heraldic eagle. (8) The conversion from the Morgan dollar to the Peace dollar design in 1921 reflected a pivotal moment in American history. The Morgan dollar represents the country’s westward expansion and industrial development in the late 19th century. The Peace dollar symbolizes the country’s coming of age as an international power while recognizing the sacrifices made by her citizens in World War I and celebrating the victory and peace that ensued.
