Peace Dollars were issued yearly from 1921 until 1928, but when the financial markets crashed in 1929, production was ceased. In 1934, with the economy beginning to recover, Peace Silver Dollars were again produced for circulation. In 1935 however, the U.S. Mint again stopped production, this time for good.

The Peace Dollar was designed by Anthony de Francisci and the coins were struck at all three mints, though Philadelphia was the only mint to issue them for the entire series run.
