Barber Quarter (1892 - 1916)
The Barber Quarter was designed by Charles E. Barber - chief engraver of the Mint - who also designed the Barber Dime and the Barber Half Dollar. All three
types of coins were released in the same year - 1892. The obverse theme of Miss Liberty is similar to that found on the dime and half dollar. Therefore, Liberty is
facing to the right, her hair in a cap, wearing a laurel wreath with LIBERTY on a small head band above her forehead. Liberty is surrounded by 6 stars to the left
and 7 to the right, while IN GOD WE TRUST is above and the date is below. Inspired by Robert Scot, the reverse is an adaptation of the Great Seal of the United
States and depicts a heraldic eagle holding an olive branch and arrows in its claws. The eagle displays a shield on its breast - the arms of the United States, and
has in his beak a scroll inscribed E PLURIBUS UNUM. Above the eagle is a galaxy of 13 stars. The eagle is surrounded by UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and the
denomination. Barber's initial B appears at the truncation of Liberty's neck.
