Description
Returning to conventional Seated Liberty territory after the Amazonian's dramatic statement, J-1201 features a traditional Liberty figure with the standard heraldic eagle reverse, struck in the standard silver alloy. The juxtaposition of this conservative design against the Amazonian at J-1200 encapsulates the fundamental tension in the 1872 pattern program between revolutionary artistic ambition and the pragmatic conservatism of established design traditions.
