1919 and 1920 were the two years when the British silver coinage was debased from 0.9250 to 0.5000 silver. Which year the change was made depends on the denomination of the coin.

Prior to 1919/1920, all British "silver" coins had a 92.5% silver content.

From 1919/1920 to 1946, all British "silver" coins had a 50% silver content.

From 1947 to present, all circulating British "silver" coins had a 0% silver content.

From 1848, the Florin (Two Shillings) was made from 0.925 (92.5%) sterling silver.

From 1920 the silver content was reduced to 0.500 (50%) and from 1947 they were made from a copper-nickel alloy.

How much is a 1929 silver dollar with no mint mark and trust spelled trvst?

Your coin is not genuine if it is dated 1929. There were no Peace Dollars produced in 1929 (however, on genuine Peace Dollars Trust is spelled with its Latinized spelling as Trvst also). Being as your coin is a fantasy piece, it has no collectible value. The only value it has is for its precious metal content, however, not being an official mint product, there is no standard metal content of it. Such a coin could be 100% silver, 90% silver, silver plated, or might contain no silver at all. Since it isn't a genuine coin, I would first off try to see what type of material it is made out of then it would be worth the going price for that metal.
