the obverse design is a copy of James Longacre pattern silver dollars obverses of 1870-1872.
This design type is known is five different varieties, including reeded-edge and plain-edge pieces struck in silver, copper, aluminum, and white metal. Of the five, the silver issue with the reeded edge (Judd-1310) is the most plentiful. These were sold as part of sets to collectors for 30$
