On the obverse of the coin is a bust of a woman symbolizing Freedom. Her hair is bordered by a laurel wreath and a diadem with the inscription "LIBERTY" on it. Above the image of Freedom in a semicircle is "IN GOD WE TRUST", at the bottom - the dating of the year, and on the sides there are 13 stars in the number of first states. On the basis of the neck, you can see the letter B, which is the monogram of the engraver Barber.

В центре реверса располагается белоголовый орлан, держащий в лапах стрелы и оливковую ветвь. Его изображение повторяет лицевую сторону Большой печати США. Над орланом расположено 13 звёзд. В клюве он держит ленту с девизом «E PLURIBUS UNUM». По краю монеты полукругом расположены две надписи: сверху — «UNITED STATES OF AMERICA», снизу — обозначение номинала монеты «HALF DOLLAR».

Barber's 50 cents were minted from 1892 to 1915. They changed 50 cents with Seated Freedom on it. 50 cents with the image of sitting Freedom were in use for more than 50 years. Also since 1879 the print runs were minimal. In this regard, a large number of loose coins of poor quality accumulated [1]. This was the prerequisite for the development of coins of a new type. The competition was announced, which was won by engraver Charles Barber
