History
The Flowing Hair Dollar, minted in 1794 and 1795, was the first official silver dollar issued by the US federal government. The obverse depicted Liberty with flowing hair, symbolizing the nations ideals of freedom. The reverse featured an eagle surrounded by a wreath. Despite a short production run, with only around 160,000 coins struck, the Flowing Hair Dollar played a pivotal role in the creation of Americas monetary system.
