Arch, you are half right, it was Ethal Merman after she won the 1921 swimming contest in her jr high school meet, The water girls grand mother took second.

 

Really I believe it was the lady herself, you know the one from France, Miss Liberty, the statue of Liberty.

Now I have cheated and looked it up, Mrs Anthony De Francisci. How vain.

Anthony de Francisci's daughter Teresa de Francisci?

[Chippewa]

Teresa de Francisci (Cafarelli) the wife of the designer.

[Wingsrule-migration]

Designer Anthony De Francisci's wife, Teresa Carafelli.

[Guest]

Anthony de Francisci's wife Teresa

[Guest]

The designer, Anthony di Francisci of the Peace Dollar used his wife, Teresa as the model for this coins engraving. So, technically; the model's name is Teresa di Francisci. If answered correctly I can provide the resources in which this information was obtained. Thank you.

Yesterday I answered his daughter Teresa de Fransisci I was wrong. It was Teresa but not his daughter, his young wife.

[coinman1794]

The answer is Theresa de Francisci! She was the designer's wife.

[lazeroo]

um is it Queen Isabella of Spain?

[Guest]

I shall try my luck with Teresa, wife of Anthony de Francisci, the designer of the Peace Dollar.

[davefperry]

If my first answer wasn't right I'll say Betty or Veronica. One of the Archies.
