1794 United States Flowing Hair Liberty Silver Dollar The design of the United States 1794 Flowing Hair Liberty Silver Dollar is unique. On the obverse a youthful Liberty faces right, head held high and long hair flowing unfettered down the back of her neck. The word LIBERTY is centered at the top inside a dentilled rim, with the date centered at the bottom. Fifteen six-point stars split eight to the left, seven to the right along the rim between the top and bottom text, the number representing the states then in the Union. The reverse displays UNITED STATES OF AMERICA along the edge of the coin inside a dentilled rim. Just inside the legend is an encircling pair of laurel branches, crossed and tied at the bottom but slightly separated at the top. In the center a right-facing eagle with outstretched wings rests on a surface, perhaps a cloud or a rock. The left wing (viewers right) is in front of the laurel branch wreath, the right behind it. On the edge are the words HUNDRED CENTS ONE DOLLAR OR UNIT with decorations or ornaments between the words. The genuine US 1794 Flowing Hair Liberty Silver Dollar is in fact an error silver coin. On the obverse, the word LIBERTY was spelt as "LIBBRTY" by mistake, and on the reverse, the word UNITED was wrongly spelt as UNITHD, and there were also errors on the side, which were the main reasons that the first US silver dollars were struck only on one day (October 15,1794), and the mintage was said to be only 1758 due to the scarcity of silver available at the mint. For the same reasons, the 1794 silver dollar is also a smaller coin as Alexander Hamilton's solution, than what was required by the Act of Congress - Coinage Act of 1792.
