The Eagle is the national symbol and was required by law to be on the $1 coins (and most other coins) until Congress suspended it to allow the Statue of Liberty to be placed on the reverse of the Presidential dollars.

What is the value of a 1903 American Eagle silver dollar?
It's a common misunderstanding that old silver dollars were called American Eagle dollars. In fact, your coin is called a Morgan dollar after its designer George T. Morgan. It was minted for spending in ordinary commerce. On the other hand, American Eagle "dollars" are 1 oz silver bullion coins minted since 1986 for sale to investors and collectors. They're not circulating coins and the $1 denomination is artificial. Please see the Related Question for more information.

What does spanish a look like?
Spain has never used dollars as its currency. Till 2002 it used pesetas and today it uses the euro. The coins sometimes called "Spanish dollars" were actually 8-reale silver pieces issued from the 15th to the 19th centuries. They were widely used in Spain's North and South American colonies as well as neighboring regions. They were so common in the American colonies that the US silver dollar was made to have essentially the same size and weight so the two coins could co-circulate. These coins were first referred to as "Spanish dollars" in the late 16th century. They also were called "milled dollars", a reference to being mechanically struck.
