The Draped Bust Half Dollar with a Small Eagle design was minted in the United States from 1796 to 1797. The 1797 issue is notable for its limited mintage and features a portrait of Liberty on the obverse, surrounded by stars, and a small eagle on the reverse, which is relatively rare compared to later designs. Collectors highly value these coins for their historical significance and artistry, with the 1797 version considered particularly desirable among numismatists due to its age and the early stage of U.S. coinage.
