The story behind the coin
The portrait-side photograph shows Liberty facing left with cotton and grain decorating her cap, E PLURIBUS UNUM above and 1921 below. On the reverse, an eagle holds arrows and an olive branch beneath In God we trust. A wreath frames the eagle, with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and ONE DOLLAR around the rim. Both faces are photographed together in the source image, so this entry is a distinct Morgan design rather than another date of the Peace dollar.

A different coin. The same fair toss.
The artwork changes, but every virtual toss still has a 50/50 chance of heads or tails. We simulate the movement; the result is chosen independently. This is not a simulation of the physical balance of a historical coin.
