1794 Dollar Tribute – 1 Troy Oz .999 Fine Silver Round | Modern Tribute Series
Description:
A tribute to American numismatic history, this 1 oz .999 fine silver round honors the iconic 1794 Flowing Hair Dollar—the first silver dollar ever struck by the United States Mint. Meticulously recreated by Intaglio Mint, this round embodies the spirit of a young republic and the artistry of early American coinage.
The obverse features Liberty in profile, her flowing hair symbolic of freedom and enlightenment, encircled by 15 stars representing the states of the Union at the time. Beneath her gaze, the date 1794 grounds this piece in its historical significance.
The reverse displays the elegant small eagle design, wings outstretched and framed by a delicate laurel wreath—an emblem of strength, peace, and victory. The legend “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” arcs above, completing the classical aesthetic.
The Legend:
Struck in 1794, the original Flowing Hair Dollar is considered by many to be the birth certificate of American coinage. Fewer than 1,800 were minted, and only a handful survive in pristine condition. This modern tribute offers collectors a chance to own the design that started it all—struck in brilliant .999 fine silver with Intaglio Mint’s signature craftsmanship.
