  Given that the 1918 Pittman's Act conditions were met during '28, no Peace silver Dollars were made during '29 thru '33. After this line finished in 1935 there were 190,577,279 Peace Dollars in total minted.
  
  This Peace dollar was designed by the young, 34 year-old, Italian immigrant artist Anthony de Francisci during '21. The timetable had been tight for their pattern competition therefore rather than having a chance to obtain a professional to posse Anthony de Francisci used his wife, Teressa, as the model for Liberty's face.
  These are all 38.1mm in width, with a mass of 26.73g, made from 90 % silver and 10 % copper, thus having .7734 ounces of silver, the edge will be reeded.
  The obverse shows Liberty with a crown with rays, much like the Statue of Liberty's. Liberty's lengthy locks are " up ", apart from some windblown hair about Liberty's face. The year encircles below Liberty together with "LIBERTY" arches around above. "IN.GOD.WE" is in its bottom section with her throat splitting "TRVST". The replacement having a "V" for "U" within trust is its throwback towards the initial design which utilized Roman numbers representing its year. Francisci's mark is under Liberty's throat wherever her shoulder would be.
  
  Its tails has a eagle standing on a rock holding an olive sprig. The rock has "PEACE" on it. There's sun rays emerging in its bottom section, depicting the sun rise. "ONE" goes across its bottom third of this coinage separated with this bald eagle and then "DOLLAR". Surrounding the upper most apex rim is "UNITED.STATES.OF.AMERICA" then directly below is "E.PLURIBUS.UNIM". The mint mark ("D" as in Denver, "S" for San Francisco, there won't be one for Philly), is underneath the "ONE" and above the bald eagles wing feathers.
  At the time the United States' Congress passed its Pittman Act upon the 23rd of April '18, they committed to sell England as much as 350.000.000 silver us dollars from the Treasury's reserve of Morgan dollars. Its Mint was then dedicated to substituted all 270,232,722 Morgan dollars that were smelted and sold. It had been 47% from every silver Morgan dollars that had been minted. Members of the American Numismatic Association started pushing to get a silver dollar to observe the wining of the World War I.
  
  The Silver Peace Dollar idea took a while to become a reality and upon 5/9/1921 the US Mint went about minting its Morgan dollar again. Eventually upon the 19th of Nov. '21 the contest to get a Silver Peace Dollar commenced with the submissions expected on 12/11/1921 and on the 12th Francisci's design was chosen. In the rush to get the master dies prepared for the Philadelphia mint adjustments had to be done via Morgan on their primary die rollers. These portraits had been a bit tall ,they were corrected in '22 after Philly had minted 35,401 Silver Peace Dollars almost all of the higher relief strikes were kept then melted down. The Peace silver Dollar is the only USA's currency to have "peace" issued.
