NEW SILVER §1 READY ON TUESDAY President Gets First of Series Struck Off at Mint. The new silver dollar of the 1921 design—the peace dollar—will be ready for distribution Tuesday, it was sald today at the Treasury. Coinage of the new dollar is being rushed by the Philadelphia mint, officlals said, and the first dollar of the new series struck off has been presented to President Harding. The new dollar has the head of Liberty on one side and on the other a dove upon a mountain top, clutching an olive branch, struck by the ra of the sun, with the word “Peace” be- neath it. This is the first change in the design of the dollar since 1878, officials sald, and will remain as the design of the dollar for twenty-five years unless changed by legislation, as the coinage laws prohibit any change in the design of the standard silver dollars more often than once in that period except by special legis- latio Abaiit 500,000 of the mew doilars probably will be coined with the date and after that the dollar will he date of the year in which it is struck off.
