Vintage Seated Liberty 1 troy oz .999 Fine Silver Bullion Art Round
The obverse design of this vintage round is a beautiful replica and tribute to the Seated Liberty Dollar.
The Seated Liberty dollar were struck by the United States Mint from 1840 to 1873. It was the last Silver coin of that denomination to be struck before the passage of the Coinage Act of 1873, which temporarily ended production of the Silver dollar for American commerce.
The obverse of the Seated Liberty Dollar coin was designed by the Mint's chief engraver, Christian Gobrecht based on the Gobrecht dollar, which had been minted experimentally from 1836 to 1839.
The soaring eagle on the reverse of the Gobrecht dollar was not used on the Seated Liberty dollar, instead, a heraldic eagle was placed.
