摩根銀元是一款美國法定的1美元銀幣，其以這款銀幣的設計師喬治·摩根的名字命名。這款銀元的鑄造年份是從1878年到1904年，此外在1921年也曾短暫鑄造過一批。這款銀元曾經在清代末期進入中國貨幣流通市場，主要在大陸華東、華南地區流通。
在1878年，美國通過了波蘭特-阿里遜法案，規定法定銀元重量為412.5谷（每谷等于64.8元毫克）。新摩根1元從1878年開始，至1904年逐年連發行，最后因銀錠供應不足而終止。在1921年又恢復鑄造，但鑄造不久就被和平銀元所取代。摩根銀元在美國東北部流通并不及紙鈔廣泛，在美國西南部地區則比較受歡迎，因為當地居民覺得銀元要比紙鈔扎實許多。
如文中展示，摩根銀元正面為為自由女神側面頭像，人像頭帶上有刻“LIBERTY”(自由)字樣。錢幣上方為拉丁文E P LURIBUS UNUM（合眾為一），下方為13顆星，代表美國獨立時的13州，正下方為鑄幣年號。錢幣背面為鷹徽，雙爪緊握橄欖枝與箭，鷹頭上方有歌德字體簡言：IN GOD WE TRUST（我們相信上帝）。錢幣上環英文譯為“美利堅合眾國”，下方為幣值壹圓標注。
而展示的這款錢幣是試鑄版。所謂試鑄幣，就是以檢驗制造流程、和設備狀態為目地，為了驗證成品是否可達到設計目標的實驗幣，我們稱之為試鑄幣。這種錢幣不參與市面流通，鑄額也極少，一般在檢驗完成后會回收銷毀。
此枚試鑄版摩根銀元整體保存的極好，歷經歲月幣面有了一層熟舊的包漿，歷史韻味極強。錢幣人像圖案刻畫精致，具有很高的觀賞價值。此款錢幣曾經在中國市場上流通，蘊含了一定的歷史意義。目前市場上此類錢幣較為少見，具有很高的收藏價值。

In 1878, the United States passed the Portland arison act, setting the legal weight of silver at 412.5 grains (64.8 milligrams per grain). The new Morgan dollar began in 1878 and continued to be issued year after year until 1904, when it was finally terminated due to insufficient supply of silver ingots. Minting resumed in 1921, but was soon replaced by the peace silver.
