Featuring Christian Gobrecht’s Powerful Liberty Design

Reverse: Gobrecht’s reverse design features the national bird, which protects a union shield. The eagle also clutches arrows and an olive branch. Inscriptions along the rim provide the name of the issuing country, “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” and the face value of the coin, “2 1/2 D.” Christian Gobrecht was the third Chief Engraver of the U.S. Mint. He was a prolific designer of coins and medals.
