One specimen features a small impressed D mint mark on the lower left of the pedestal, indicating production at the Denver Mint, and a small impressed M to the right of the pedestal. The reverse design features an eagle in flight. The periphery includes the inscriptions UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and QUARTER DOLLAR, with the Latin motto E PLURIBUS VNUM positioned above the eagle.
