The obverse of the 1853 Seated Arrows and Rays Half Dollar features Christian Gobrecht’s classic Seated Liberty design. Liberty is depicted seated on a rock, holding a liberty cap on a pole in her left hand and a shield in her right hand, symbolizing freedom and strength. The inscription "LIBERTY" is engraved on the shield, and the date "1853" appears below. Flanking the date are two arrows, a distinctive element introduced that year to denote the weight reduction.

The reverse showcases a heraldic eagle with outstretched wings, clutching an olive branch and arrows in its talons. Surrounding the eagle are radiant lines, or "rays," a striking design element that adds to the coin’s visual appeal and uniqueness. Encircling the design are the inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and "HALF DOL."
