Description
1921 Peace Dollar Plaster
Made by Anthony de Francisci
1921 Peace Dollar Plaster by Anthony de Francisci. In
December 1921, Italian-American sculptor Anthony de Francisci won
the Commission of Fine Arts competition to design the Peace dollar.
The commission requested that the date be changed from Roman to
Arabic numerals. According to Roger Burdette, author of Renaissance
of American Coinage 1916-1921, de Francisco made the requested
changes to two sets of models. He took one set with him to
Washington, D.C., and the other set was left at James Earle
Fraser's New York studio. The present lot is the modified obverse
plaster left with Fraser. Fraser later gave it to Victor Anthony de
Meo, a photographer who worked with Fraser on projects such as the
celebrated End of the Trail sculpture, or William de Meo, the son
of Victor Anthony de Meo. William de Meo was an apprentice for
Fraser and later opened up his own New York studio. The plaster is
made of white alabaster with a yellow-ochre finish. It has a 222 mm
diameter and is 32 mm thick. The edge displays moderate chips, and
there are occasional minor surface deposits. We thank
MintErrorNews.com for information concerning the plaster and its
associated splasher die trial.
