Barber Half Dollars (1892 - 1915)
Just like the Barber dime and quarter, the Barber Half Dollar was designed by Charles E. Barber - chief engraver of the Mint. 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 quarter. 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. She is surrounded by 6 stars to the left and 7 to the right. 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. In his beak, he has 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 HALF
DOLLAR. Barber's initial B appears at the truncation of Liberty's neck.
