Chief Justice John Marshall Silver Dollar (2005)

The 2005 Chief Justice John Marshall Silver Dollar was issued for the 250th anniversary of his birth. He served as the fourth Chief Justice of the United States from 1801 to 1835 and most notably established the doctrine of Judicial Review, asserting that the Supreme Court has the authority to overturn an Act of Congress if it exceeds the powers granted in the Constitution.

The silver dollar features a portrait of Chief Justice John Marshall on the obverse. The inscriptions include "Chief Justice United States Supreme Court 1801-1835", "John Marshall", "Liberty", "In God We Trust", and the date of issue "2005".

The reverse of the coin depicts the old Supreme Court Chamber within the Capitol with inscriptions "E Pluribus Unum", "One Dollar", and "United States of America".

The John Marshall Silver Dollar was minted in proof and uncirculated versions, both struck at the Philadelphia Mint. A Chief Justice John Marshall Coin & Chronicles Set included the uncirculated version of the silver dollar, an intaglio print of a statue of the Chief Justice, and an information booklet.

Notably, the John Marshall Silver Dollar represented the first depiction of a Supreme Court Justice or the Supreme Court as an institution on a United States coin.
