2021 Smithsonian 1-oz Gold Peace Dollar Ultra High Relief Reverse Proof NGC PF70UC First Day of Issue w/de Francisci Label

A Golden Tribute to the Centennial of America’s Peace Dollar

In 1921, the U.S. Mint released its new Silver Dollar, named the Peace Dollar, to celebrate the end of World War I. Designed by Italian-born American artist Anthony de Francisci, it is a numismatic icon — but it’s not the only design the artist submitted! This special 100th anniversary release presents de Francisci’s original obverse and an alternate design on the reverse!

Original and Alternate Designs

Struck in a full ounce of highly pure 99.9% gold, the obverse presents the Liberty we know, but with de Francisci’s original Roman (rather than Arabic) numerals. The reverse displays de Francisci’s alternate design featuring a fierce eagle breaking a sword with its beak. The reverse also incorporates the 2021 date and Smithsonian sunburst.

Ultra High Relief Reverse Proof

As if the incredible designs weren’t enough, this proof comes also comes struck in double-sided Ultra High Relief (UHR) with designs that seem to explode from the surface of the medal. And not to sound like a late night Popeil television commercial, “but wait; there’s more!” In addition to the Ultra High Relief designs, this coin was struck as Reverse Proof, meaning instead of frosted designs rising from mirrored fields, it was expertly crafted from hand-selected planchets, polished dies and multiple strikes to produce beautifully mirror-like details rising over frosted fields!
