Capped Bust

The Capped Bust coinage of the United States consisted of a half dime, dime, quarter and half dollar.

[1] John Reich designed this capped-head concept of Liberty, and it was modified by Chief Engraver of the Mint, William Kneass.

[2][3][4][5] There was also a gold design created by engraver Robert Scot created in 1795, also called the Capped Bust, although it is more popularly known as the "Turban Head" because of its unusual, exotic appearance.

[6] On the Quarter and Half Eagles, the Turban design was replaced with the regular Capped Bust design in 1808 and 1807, respectively,[7] while the Eagle, having been out of production since 1804, adopted the "Coronet" Liberty Head design in 1838.

[8] The obverse of the 2008 Andrew Jackson's Liberty First Spouse coin and medal features the Capped Bust design.
