The 2023 Fiji One Dollar Coin pays homage to one of the most beloved coins in American history, the Morgan Dollar, specifically the 1885 Carson City (CC) edition.
The Morgan Dollar was first minted in 1878 and quickly became a symbol of the American West, celebrating the nation’s expansion and economic growth during the late 19th century. The CC mint mark signifies that the coin was produced at the Carson City Mint in Nevada, known for its rich silver mining history and its contribution to the American economy during that era.
This particular coin captures the iconic design created by George T. Morgan, featuring a profile of Lady Liberty on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse, adorned with a wreath. The 1885 CC Morgan Dollar is particularly sought after by collectors due to its historical significance and rarity, making it a treasured piece in numismatic collections.
The 2023 Fiji One Dollar Coin is struck in 1 oz of fine silver, reflecting the enduring appeal of silver as both a medium of exchange and a collectible. Its MS70 grade from the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) signifies that it is in perfect condition, with no flaws visible under magnification.
Additionally, being labeled as a First Day of Issue adds to its desirability, marking it as part of a limited release that collectors eagerly seek. The coin is further distinguished by the signature of David Ryder, former U.S. Mint Director, whose endorsement adds a personal touch and enhances its collectible value.
Housed in an EDC Red Core holder, the coin is not only protected but also presented in a manner that highlights its exceptional beauty and craftsmanship.
This unique combination of history, artistry, and contemporary significance makes the 2023 Fiji One Dollar Coin a remarkable addition to any collection, bridging the past with the present through its commemorative design.
