This Sunshine Mint silver round pays tribute to the original United States Morgan Silver Dollar. On the obverse (or front) of the round you’ll find the representation of Anna Willess Williams of Philadelphia. The original artist decided to choose an American Woman for the design instead of the Ancient Greek design, which was common at the time. Inscribed around her are the words “E PLURIBUS UNUM” meaning “From many one” in Latin, and the initials of the company beneath her “SMI”.

On the reverse of the silver round is the American Bald Eagle clutching in its talons the olive branch & a bunch of arrows. These, of course, are the traditional symbols of peace and war. Around the Eagle are the words “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA”, “¼ TROY OUNCE”, “.999”, & “FINE SILVER”. In the center of the Eagle is featured the Sunshine Mints security pad.

The Sunshine Mints security pad feature is in the center of the round on the reverse side. This security pad, or Scrambled Indicia (or SI), uses engraving technology that works on the smallest of levels (also known as micro-engraving). This miniature engraving creates a unique mark that is only seen when holding up a special decoder lens produced by the mint. When the decoder lens is placed in front of the SI area, the word “VALID” appears. This unique security feature helps people identify their coins as authentic Sunshine products.

The Sunshine Mint was established in 1979. The brand has become very respected in the industry for its high quality products and commitment to innovation. Part of this innovation has been to introduce this unique Mint Mark SI feature, a cutting-edge bullion investing counterfeit protection measure.
