Portrait on the silver dollar sparks a northern–south tale
The Memphis Commercial Appeal recounts a story of Anni Willis Williams, daughter of a southern slave owner, whose serene face inspired a U S Mint design for a silver dollar. Henry Williams and Anni’s life intersect with early 19th century relations, wartime poverty, and a claim that a sculptor used her visage for the coin. The piece links her portrait to broader themes of fate and history.
