The $2.50 gold piece, or Quarter Eagle, designed by Christian Gobrecht, featured Lady Liberty on the obverse, surrounded by 13 stars, symbolizing the original colonies, with the date below. The reverse displayed a heraldic eagle, a symbol of the nation's strength and unity. This design, introduced in 1839, continued until 1907, making the 1900 issue one of the last in its series before the introduction of the Indian Head design.
