Coins - US Quarter Eagle ($2.50) is framed in a unique and eye pleasing 14 Karat mounting. Emphasis is mainly on the coin which perhaps there are none more unusual. This uniquely designed American treasure $2.50 piece is one of two U.S. coins struck entirely with incuse relief -- that is to say, with all of their design elements sunken below the surface, rather than raised above it.
The personal intervention of President Theodore Roosevelt who embraced the concept of using incuse relief is at the foundation of the $2.50 Indian coin production. The precious metal content is 4.18 grams of .900 fine gold. As this item is a genuine coin, styles and dates may vary slightly from those shown. Designer Bela Lyon Pratt shows an Indian brave in a war bonnet on the obverse and an eagle in repose on the reverse. Both possess are of dignity and strength.
