1925-D 2.50 Gold Indian Head Coin - U.S. 2 12 Quarter Eagle Gold

This is the 2.50 Gold Indian Head Quarter Eagle. It is beautiful with a rare look to it. The denomination is written not as 2.50 but a fraction 2 1 2 . Surrounding the Native American face are 13 stars representing the original Colonies. Most modern coins have writing on the front but this has a single word LIBERTY . Other differences appear. The pledge In God We Trust is found on the reverse on the right side of the coin. The phrase E Pluribus Unum normally found centered at the top of a coin is down on the left and in between is a splendid quarter-point American Bald Eagle. My camera isn t studio quality but the photos show the coin bears all the details of its design. History of the 1925-D Indian Head 2.50 Gold Coin Beginning in 1908 the coin was produced under the orders of President Theodore Roosevelt. It was designed by engraver Bela Pratt who also designed the 5 gold coin. Note These coins designs differ greatly from any other United States coin because the design was recessed or incused into the coin. This made a reverse of the normal U.S. Mint die in that the design was stamped pressed or sunken into the flat coin rather than the typical coin where the design is sticking outward from the coin. Theodore Roosevelt had a personal interest and passion in upgrading the quality of the art in US coins. Production of the 2 1 2 piece continued up until 1929 when another president Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) put an end to all gold coin production. This coin is a piece of history and the engraver s initials appear on the front directly under the head-- BLP for Bela Lyon Pratt.
