The Legacy of the Morgan Silver Dollar
Now, if you’re familiar with American coins, the name George T. Morgan might sound like an old friend. Morgan designed the classic Morgan Silver Dollar, minted from 1878 to 1904 and once again in 1921. These silver dollars have a rich history and remain a beloved collectible across the United States — including right here in Okaloosa County.
The Flowing Hair Medal pays homage to that bygone era, connecting modern commemoratives with the craftsmanship and spirit of Morgan’s original work.
