The Flowing Hair Medal’s Heritage and Design

This medal carries the spirit of the Morgan Silver Dollar, a coin that’s been a beloved staple in coin collections from way back, first minted in 1878. Designed by George T. Morgan, the coin features Liberty’s profile wearing a Phrygian cap, a symbol of freedom, with "Liberty" inscribed on her hair band. Encircling her are thirteen stars, nodding to the original colonies, along with the date and the motto "E Pluribus Unum."

On the flip side, you’ll find a proud bald eagle clutching an olive branch and arrows, symbolizing peace and strength, surrounded by inscriptions like "United States of America," "One Dollar," and "In God We Trust."
