Design
The obverse of the 1879 Seated Liberty Half Dollar showcases Christian Gobrecht’s iconic design of Liberty seated upon a rock, holding a liberty cap on a pole in one hand and a shield in the other, symbolizing freedom and protection. The word “LIBERTY” is inscribed on the shield, while thirteen stars encircle the design, representing the original colonies, and the date “1879” is placed below.
On the reverse, a majestic heraldic eagle dominates the design, clutching arrows and an olive branch to represent strength and peace. The eagle is surrounded by the inscriptions “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” and “HALF DOL.” The artistry and balance of this design make it one of the most admired in U.S. coinage history.
