Introduced in 1840, the Liberty Quarter Eagle features a classic design from Christian Gobrecht, the 3rd Chief Engraver of the United States Mint. The design would far outlive Gobrecht, gracing the coins until 1907. The 1852 Liberty Gold Quarter Eagle offers collectors some historical context as pieces that were struck during the California Gold Rush, a period that saw a massive influx of gold to the US Treasury that kicked off a period of monetary expansion in the US.

On the obverse of 1852 Pre-33 Liberty Gold Quarter Eagles is a portrait of Lady Liberty. This classic design is often referred to as the Coronet Head, a nod to the coronet crown on Liberty’s head. This field includes a ring of 13 stars with a date mark at the bottom of the design element.

The reverse side of the 1852 $2.50 Liberty Quarter Eagle Coin features the heraldic eagle. The design shows the bald eagle with the US national shield, the arrows of war, and the olive branch of peace. The nation of issue and face value are included on this side.
