The obverse (heads side) of the 1886 Silver Dollar features a profile that represents Lady Liberty. The model for the portrait was Anna Weiss Williams, and she wears a Phrygian cap over her deeply detailed hair. The hat was known as a Liberty Cap, representing freedom during the Revolutionary War. It has a banner that reads Liberty, with leaves and flowers.
The top collar reads E Pluribus Unum with a dot on either side of Pluribus. The lower collar has the mint date. The coin features 13 stars to represent the first 13 States of the Union. 7 of these stars are on the left side of her neck and 6 stars are on the right, after the mint date. The designer’s initial (M) is at the cut-off point on her neckline, above her lowest lock of hair.
