The "M" you see on the ribbon that ties wreath together, stands for Morgan, as in George T. Morgan the designer of the coin. Also another "M" is on the base of Miss Liberty's neck on the front of the coin.

A Morgan dollar is a US silver dollar minted from 1878 to 1904 and again in 1921. The name comes from George T. Morgan, the coin's designer. The front has a portrait of Miss Liberty that resembles the face Gustave Eiffel later used for the Statue of Liberty. The reverse has a spread-winged eagle holding an olive branch in one claw to symbolize peace and arrows in the other to represent strength. Morgan's design is both highly detailed and sharply executed, making the Morgan dollar among the most beautiful and popular of American coins.The mint mark position on all Morgan dollars is on the reverse side, above the letters DO in DOLLAR.
