The 1796 25-cent coin is part of the Draped Bust series, which was minted from 1796 to 1807. The design was created by Robert Scot and features Lady Liberty on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse. The 1796 quarter is particularly significant as it was the first year of mintage for the quarter dollar denomination.
The obverse of the coin features the Draped Bust of Lady Liberty facing right, with flowing hair and a ribbon tied at the back. The word "LIBERTY" is inscribed above her head, and the date "1796" is below.
The reverse showcases a small eagle with outstretched wings, perched on a cloud. This design is known as the Small Eagle reverse and is surrounded by the inscription "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA." The edge of the coin is reeded.
