Silver Dollar Gift Store offers several silver coins in addition to the featured Confederate Silver Dollar	Remember Confederate currency? It was all paper! There was no coinage to speak of. This is in spite of the fact that the Confederacy had two mints: one in New Orleans and another in Dahlonega, Georgia. The problem was that no one had any precious metal bullion. This coin, the Confederate Silver Dollar, is an attempt to give the South something it has long been missing; its own silver dollar. The coin itself was designed by a great-grandnephew of John Singleton Mosby, the legendary “Grey Ghost.” Mosby, a Major in the Confederate Army, was the archetypical guerilla leader and fighter. The reverse of the coin is the authentic “Great Seal of The Confederacy.” The colonial horseman is George Washington. Remember, Washington was a Virginian, a Southern gentleman and hero, not only of the USA, but especially the CSA. The wreath surrounding Washington is there to remind us of the South’s agrarian nature, its roots and lifestyle. The wreath consists of the South’s six main staples: corn, wheat, tobacco, sugar cane, rice, and, you guessed it… cotton. “DEO VINDICE,” the motto of the Confederacy, is Latin for “God will vindicate.” 22 February 1862 is not only George Washington’s birthday, it is the date the Confederate Constitution was adopted. The centerpiece on the obverse of the coin is an eagle from a US 1830s silver half-dollar. The breastplate or shield has the “Stars and Bars” of the battle flag, with “CSA” above. The thirteen stars stand for the eleven Confederate States, plus Kentucky and Missouri, two Border States whose sympathies lay largely with the South. The scripture, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,” is from Psalm 33, Verse 12, and celebrates the strong Christian faith and tradition of the old South. It is also evident in the modern South. The coin’s date is under the eagle. “anno Domini” above the date simply means “in the year of our Lord.” This coin is one of a kind, and it is certain to be appreciated when you give it. $20.00 each; $18.00 each for five.
