In the 19th century, there was an effort to introduce Half Union ($50) and Union ($100) coins into circulation in the United States. While no coins were ever struck, George T. Morgan’s pattern designs for the Union survived to the modern era. George T. Morgan was a British-born engraver who made significant contributions to American numismatics during his tenure at the United States Mint. Born in 1845, Morgan emigrated to the United States in 1876 at the invitation of Mint Director Henry Linderman. His arrival came at a crucial time when the Mint was seeking to improve the artistic quality of American coinage. While his Union design never saw production, many other coins he designed were woven into the fabric of American currency.

The obverse of the 2024 Samoa Silver Morgan Union Dollar features the Samoan coat of arms. The design includes the national crest of Samoa with a Christian cross atop a shield. The shield has stylized ocean waves behind a palm tree in the upper field, while the bottom field shows the Southern Cross constellation.

The reverse of the 2024 1 oz Silver Morgan Union Dollar Coin shows Lady Liberty. This design was created in 1876 by George T. Morgan for the proposed Union coin. Lady Liberty is depicted seated in right-profile relief, holding a caduceus in her right arm and a branch in her left hand. A sailing ship is seen in the harbor in the background.
