Due to its historical significance, artistic design, and relative scarcity, it's one of the most iconic and collectible coins from the early federal period.
These coins contain approximately 0.3866 troy oz of actual silver content and were designed by Robert Scot, the first Chief Engraver of the U.S. Mint.

The Design
The obverse features the Lady Liberty effigy facing right, with flowing hair and draped clothing, hence the moniker. It is said the image was based on a portrait by artist Gilbert Stuart, possibly modeled after socialite Ann Willing Bingham.
Additional engravings refer to the word “LIBERTY” above, and the date of issuance.
The reverse design imprinted on Draped Bust Half Dollar coins from 1801 to 1807 showcases a large, more detailed eagle with a shield on its chest, holding arrows and an olive branch, echoing the Great Seal of the U.S.
The words "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" are inscribed around the edge.
