The 1989 Congress Bicentennial Silver Dollar was one of three coins released to celebrate the 200th anniversary of Congress. The three commemorative coins included a clad half dollar, silver dollar, and $5 gold coin.
The United States Congress is the legislature of the federal government of the United States. It is bicameral, comprising a lower body, the House of Representatives, and an upper body, the Senate. The Congress meets in the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C. Both senators and representatives are chosen through direct election, though vacancies in the Senate may be filled by a governor's appointment. The Congress was created by the Constitution of the United States and first met in 1789, replacing in its legislative function the Congress of the Confederation.
Design: Chester Young Martin and William Woodward
