Design
The front side depicts the profile of Lady Liberty with the word “LIBERTY” engraved on her hair band. There are 13 stars that surround the outer edge and represent the 13 original colonies. The date of issue is below the portrait of Lady Liberty.
The reverse side shows an eagle with outstretched wings. In the eagles right claw are oak branches and in the left are arrows. The inscription around the outer edge is “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA”. The nominal value can be seen below the eagle and is engraved as “2 ½”. The editions that have a mint mark can be seen to the right of the nominal value.
Mint Marks
These coins were minted at various US Mints, which include Dahlonega (D), Charlotte (C), San Francisco (S) and New Orleans (O). Many of these coins were also minted in Philadelphia, where a mint mark was not used.
