Trade Dollars were issued by the United States from 1873 to 1885, primarily intended for use in international trade, particularly with Asia. These coins were minted in 90% silver and had a higher silver content compared to standard U.S. coins, making them more valuable in commerce. The obverse features a depiction of Liberty, while the reverse showcases an eagle with "Commerce" elements, representing the purpose of the coin. Though originally intended for trade, Trade Dollars often circulated domestically and were eventually demonetized, leading to their status as collectible items today.
