1913 $2.50 Indian Gold Quarter Eagle AU

0.1209 troy oz

The 1913 United States quarter eagle represents a fascinating chapter in American numismatic design. Struck in 0.1209 troy ounces of gold, this 2.50 dollar denomination features a revolutionary incuse design, meaning the details and inscriptions are sunken below the flat surface of the coin rather than raised above it. This unusual artistic approach gives the piece a distinctively flat profile and a completely different tactile feel compared to traditional coins. On the obverse, the coin displays a detailed profile of a Native American chief wearing a ceremonial war bonnet. The word LIBERTY is clearly incised along the top curve, accompanied by the 1913 year of issue at the bottom. The designer's initials, B.L.P., are also subtly integrated into the design just above the date, marking the creative mind behind this innovative gold piece.
