Chief Justice John Marshall silver dollar

Nineteen different designs inspired by various representations of Marshall were submitted by Mint engravers for his depiction on the obverse. The selected design depicts a profile of John Marshall based on a 1808 engraving by the French portrait artist Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin and was designed by John Mercanti. The reverse, designed by Donna Weaver, shows the interior of the Old Supreme Court Chamber within the Capitol during the time Marshall was a justice. == Production and distribution ==
