Artist Elizabeth Sarah took the Barber Quarter, named after designer Charles E. Barber- who was the chief engraver of the United States mint and turned it into a gorgeous wearable piece of art. This coin was minted from 1892 to 1916.

The coin is made of 90% Silver and 10% Copper.

A right facing bust of Lady Liberty (Libertas, the Greek Goddess of Freedom) adorns 
the front of the coin, who wears a Phrygian cap, a symbol of freedom. The motto "In God We Trust" appears above her head, and she is surrounded by 13 six-pointed stars. 

 



The back of the coin features a heraldic eagle with outstretched wings, holding an olive branch and arrows in its talons. The eagle symbolizes peace and strength. The reverse of the coin also features a wreath of corn and wheat, which symbolizes agriculture. The back also features maple leaves and oak leaves, which represent civic rule and military power.

 FUN FACT: It is sometimes referred to as two bits because two bits of a Spanish piece of eight coin made up a quarter of that coin's value.
