The 1806 Draped Bust Gold Two and a Half Dollar coin, also known as the Quarter Eagle, is a significant collectible from the United States. This coin features the Draped Bust design on the obverse, portraying Liberty, and the reverse showcases an eagle with a shield, symbolizing national strength. Minted in gold during a period of early American coinage, it has considerable historical value and is sought after by numismatists for its artistic design and rarity. The 1806 date adds to its collectibility, as specific years often have lower mintage and surviving examples in high quality are particularly prized.
