The Lafayette dollar was the first commemorative silver dollar struck by the United States, and the only one until 1983. It portrays the conjoined busts of George Washington and the Marquis de Lafayette, another hero of the American Revolution. These coins were issued for the United States' participation in the Exposition Universelle (Paris World's Fair) of 1900.

This is an attractive, mostly white Mint State example with hints of champagne-colored toning around the peripheries.
