Description
The copper rendering of J-1096's innovative Liberty Head quarter design highlights the new portrait concept in warm base-metal tones. The departure from the established Seated Liberty motif is particularly evident in copper, where the unfamiliar design stands in sharp visual contrast to decades of convention. This piece documents one of the more ambitious design proposals for the quarter denomination during the Trade Dollar era.
