1804 Dollar Tribute – 1 Troy Oz .999 Fine Silver Round | Modern Tribute Series
Steeped in mystery, prestige, and numismatic legend, the 1804 Dollar is often called “The King of American Coins.” This 1 oz .999 fine silver round from Intaglio Mint pays homage to the legendary Class I Draped Bust Dollar—revered not only for its rarity, but for the intrigue surrounding its true origins.
The obverse showcases the iconic Draped Bust Liberty, rendered in exquisite detail with flowing hair and a ribbon-tied coiffure. Encircled by 13 stars and dated 1804, it captures the neoclassical elegance of early U.S. coinage.
The reverse features the Heraldic Eagle design, a powerful emblem of national strength. Clutching arrows and an olive branch, the eagle is framed by a ring of stars and the national motto, “E PLURIBUS UNUM.” The design is flanked by “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” echoing the enduring authority of the original silver dollar.
The Legend:
Though dated 1804, the Class I dollars were struck in 1834–1835 for official diplomatic presentation sets. Eight Class I specimens are known. Later Class II and Class III restrikes have a separate history, adding another layer to the story of this famous rarity. This modern tribute delivers the majesty of the original to collectors and silver stackers alike.
