Obverse
The obverse of the 1888 Morgan Dollar showcases a lovely left-profile relief of Lady Liberty. This design was inspired by Anna Willes Williams, and Liberty is depicted wearing a Phrygian cap, adorned with a laurel wreath and a coronet crown, encircled by 13 stars.
Reverse
On the reverse side, the 1888 Morgan Silver Dollar features a heraldic eagle, designed without a national shield. The eagle is shown in a front-facing position with its wings spread wide, clutching both arrows and an olive branch, symbolizing its role in war and peace.
