The Silver Dollar was minted in Philadelphia on October 15th, 1794. Total Mintage was 1,758 with no proofs. It was designed by Robert Scot and had a metal content of 90% Silver and 10% Copper. The edge of the coin is lettered “HUNDRED CENTS ONE DOLLAR OR UNIT” with various ornaments between the words. There is no mintmark as all dates of this type were struck at Philadelphia.
