A numismatic item spanning a century, the focus represents a specific type of currency struck within that period. Its composition includes silver, and its face value is one dollar. These pieces hold intrinsic value due to their silver content and potential collectibility driven by condition, rarity, and historical significance. The date range encompasses both the year of initial production and a symbolic end date representing a centennial milestone.
These coins serve as tangible links to economic and social conditions of their respective eras. They are collected not only for their precious metal value but also as historical artifacts. Commemorative editions within this timeframe represent significant events or figures, further enhancing their desirability. The centennial connection underscores the passage of time and the evolution of both the currency and the society that produced it.
