The $2.50 Classic Head Gold coin, minted in 1834 at the Philadelphia Mint, is part of the early 19th-century U.S. gold coinage. This denomination, known as the quarter eagle, features a classic design by engraver William Kneass, depicting Liberty with a headband and stars on the obverse, and an eagle with a shield on the reverse. The Classic Head series was produced until 1839, and coins from this era are sought after by collectors due to their historical significance and relatively low mintage.
