About Indian Head Quarter Eagles
The imagery of a recessed Indian Head and a proud Standing Eagle mark the end of the denomination of two dollars and fifty cents. Retired in 1929 after 133 years of servicing the American economy, the smallest of the four traditional circulating gold pieces exists now as a memento of a different time in the United States.
Designed by Bela Lyon Pratt, the illustrations of the Indian Head Quarter Eagle compliment the Half Eagle that also received its own visual update as part of a grander reimagining of circulating coinage. This particular issue, following the standards of its predecessor, had a composition of 0.900 fine gold with the balance in copper, weighed 4.18 grams, and had a diameter of 18 millimeters. The Mint at Philadelphia produced the majority of the overall population, accompanied by three years of output by the Denver Mint.
