Obverse

The obverse side of the 1881-S Morgan Dollar displays a captivating left-profile image of Lady Liberty. Its believed that Morgan drew inspiration from Anna Willes Williams for this representation. Liberty is depicted wearing a Phrygian cap, complemented by a laurel wreath and a coronet crown. Surrounding her image are 13 stars.

Reverse

On the reverse, the 1881-S Morgan Silver Dollar features a heraldic eagle. Unlike traditional depictions, this eagle lacks a national shield and instead appears in a front-facing pose, wings spread wide. The eagle’s talons clutch both an olive branch and arrows, symbolizing peace and strength.
