The $2.50 Liberty Quarter Eagle of Christian Gobrecht

The quarter eagle was a coin issued by the United States with a denomination of two hundred and fifty cents, or
two dollars and fifty cents. It was given its name in the Coinage Act of 1792, as a derivation from the US ten-dollar
eagle coin. The quarter eagle denomination was officially discontinued in 1933 with the removal of the United
States from the Gold Standard, although the last date of issue was 1929.
