2024 Flowing Hair Medals

The 2024 Flowing Hair Medals pay tribute to an iconic chapter in American numismatic history, drawing inspiration from the original 1794 Flowing Hair dollar—the nation’s first silver dollar coin. Crafted with modern precision and artistry, these medals are struck from .999 fine silver, each weighing a full troy ounce and measuring over 40 mm in diameter. The obverse features a reimagined portrait of Liberty, her hair flowing freely, surrounded by 15 stars that represent the original states of the Union. On the reverse, a laurel-wreathed eagle stands as a symbol of resilience and national pride, and the inclusion of a special “230” privy mark commemorates the 230th anniversary of the original coin’s release. With only 75,000 pieces produced, these medals are notable for their limited mintage, and each carries the legacy of American craftsmanship and the enduring allure of classic coinage. Collectors often seek out these medals for their historical resonance and the artistry of their high-relief designs, while some may appreciate the connection to the Philadelphia Mint—one of the oldest and most storied mints in the United States.

For both seasoned numismatists and newcomers alike, the 2024 Flowing Hair Medals offer a tangible link to America’s early years, making them a compelling addition to any collection or a thoughtful gift for those who appreciate history, heritage, or fine artistry. The medals’ substantial weight and gleaming finish lend a sense of permanence and significance, qualities that can be especially meaningful during the winter months when families gather and traditions are passed down. Many collectors choose to display these medals in protective cases, allowing the intricate details and mirror-like surfaces to be admired for generations. Others may present them as gifts to mark milestones, celebrate patriotic occasions, or honor personal achievements—each medal serving as a lasting reminder of American ingenuity and the pursuit of liberty.
