ANA - This presentation will explore one iconic woman's role in the advancement of circulating coinage in the United States and the lasting impact she has had on numismatics. Schoolteacher Anna Willess Williams' rise to fame began in 1876 when U.S. Mint engraver George T. Morgan selected her as a model for the portrait on a new coin design.

Christened the "Goddess of Liberty" by The Numismatist magazine in 1896, Williams was thrown into the spotlight and became an integral part of numismatics—her portrait became the world-famous "Lady Liberty" on the obverse of the Morgan dollar, which was minted from 1878 to 1904 and again in 1921. This presentation will discuss, in conjunction with Williams' biography, the state of the economy and American society leading up to the design and creation of the Morgan dollar and the coins subsequent impact on numismatics.
