The head of Liberty was a dramatic change and welcome relief from the seated figure that had appeared on nearly all U. S. Coinage for morethan 50 years. The design's boldness and absence of detail helped the coin to wear well, and Barber Quarters continued to circulate for more than 25 years after production stopped.

S. Mint coins were designed by mint engravers. Specifications: Designer: Charles E.
