The Draped Bust design, created by artist Gilbert Stuart, was used for U.S. coinage during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The Two and a Half Dollar (2.5) denomination, also known as the quarter eagle, was first minted in 1796. In 1797, the Philadelphia Mint produced various examples of the Draped Bust coin, characterized by its depiction of Liberty on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse. Coins from this era are highly sought after by collectors for their historical significance and artistry.
