Bill of Rights Silver Dollar (1993)

The 1993 Bill of Rights Silver Dollar was issued in honor of James Madison and the Bill of Rights which he authored. The date of release bore no particular relationship to Madison or the Bill or Rights, which was added to the Constitution in 1789.

The obverse of the silver dollar coin features a portrait of James Madison and the reverse features a view of his Virginia home, Montpelier. Interestingly, the design makes no reference to the Bill of Rights.

The obverse inscriptions read "Liberty", "James Madison", "In God We Trust", and the date "1993". The reverse inscriptions include "United States of America", "E Pluribus Unum", "Montpelier", and the denomination "One Dollar".

The 1993 Bill of Rights Silver Dollars were offered in both proof and uncirculated versions. The Denver Mint produced the uncirculated version and the San Francisco Mint produced the proof version. Coins were sold individually or as part of two-coin or three-coin sets, and a complete six-coin set, which included all commemorative coins issued for the Bill of Rights.
