Obverse (Front): Design: Features the Liberty Head (also called the "Coronet Head") facing left, with her hair tied in a bun and wearing a coronet inscribed with “LIBERTY.” Stars: 13 stars circle the edge, representing the original colonies. Date: 1886 is inscribed at the bottom.
Reverse (Back): Design: Heraldic eagle with a shield on its chest, clutching arrows and an olive branch. Text: “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” and the denomination “2½ D.” at the bottom (representing $2.50). This is the “No Motto” type reverse (no "In God We Trust" banner above the eagle), which is correct for coins from this denomination/year.
