The design features the bust of Liberty wearing a capped hat on the obverse and an eagle with a shield on the reverse. The 1821 Capped Bust Half Eagle is notable for its lower mintage and can be highly sought after by collectors, particularly in high-grade condition. These coins are made of 90% gold and 10% copper, contributing to their historical and monetary value.
