US 1926 'Scopes Trial' Peace Dollar

The Design Quirk Prompted by a Court Trial...

*Extremely Limited Stock*

The U.S. 1926 Peace Dollar stands out uniquely in numismatic history due to the distinctive prominence of the word "GOD" on its obverse. Unlike other years in Peace Dollar history, the 1926 edition features "GOD" in a higher relief, a deliberate modification made to the master die for reasons that remain a subject of intrigue among historians.

Why is this? 

In 1925, the United States was captivated by the 'Scopes Trial', a landmark case debating the legality of teaching evolution in Tennessee schools. This trial symbolised the tension between religious beliefs and scientific theories. Some scholars speculate that the enhanced emphasis on "GOD" in the 1926 Peace Dollar's design may have been an intentional response by a Mint employee to the cultural climate of the time, reflecting the nation's focus on religious values during this pivotal moment.
