The Standing Liberty Quarter debuted in 1916, replacing the Barber Quarter as the official US 25-Cent piece. The groundwork for the coin was laid by US Mint director Robert Woolley, and the designs were completed by sculptor Herman Atkins MacNeil. Though it is recognized as one of the most iconic designs in the history of the US Mint, the quarter was eventually replaced in 1932 by the Washington Quarter.
