Design
The front side of the coin depicts a Native American Male in a headdress. The word “LIBERTY” is engraved on the top outer edge. Around the outer edge are also 13 stars representing the original 13 colonies. The date of issue is engraved on the bottom outer edge.
The reverse shows the image of a standing eagle. “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” is engraved along the top outer edge. The nominal value of “2 ½ DOLLARS” is below the eagle. Both the front and reverse sides were designed by Bela Lyon Pratt.
