A Legacy of American Numismatics

The early 20th century marked a period of significant artistic innovation in U.S. coinage, championed by President Theodore Roosevelt. The Indian Head Quarter Eagle, first minted in 1908, stands out with its groundbreaking incuse design, meaning the design elements are sunken below the coin's surface rather than raised. This distinctive style, conceived by sculptor Bela Lyon Pratt, features a dignified Native American chief on the obverse and a majestic eagle on the reverse. The 1912 issue continues this tradition, representing the era's ambition to create coins of artistic merit and national pride.
