I was curious who was the woman on the Peace dollar and found out that the man who made the coin was using his wife on the Peace dollar, Anthony De Francisci used his wife, Teresa as the model. this coin was used to protray the signing of the peace treaty between Germany and United States back in 1921. Although peace didn't last very long. [:0]

I would have had her to fix her dadgum hair before I sat her down to do a portrait of her. I don't know why but the more I look at the Peace dollars the more I don't like it. They should have made it a two tailed coin because the eagle is alot better looking than the obverse. And the strikes are just horrible, I have seen coins Struck Through Grease that left more detail on the coin that most Peace dollars have
