Standing Liberty Quarters

Introduced in late 1916, the Standing Liberty Quarter emerged from a broader push to elevate American coin design after the Saint-Gaudens renaissance. With the long-running Barber designs viewed as dated, the U.S. Mint commissioned a modern allegorical approach for this Liberty Quarter series.

Hermon A. MacNeil created the design in collaboration with Mint leadership, including Director Robert W. Woolley and Chief Engraver Charles E. Barber, who adapted elements for production. Drawing on Greek classicism and neoclassical sculpture, MacNeil aimed to convey national ideals during wartime through standing liberty quarters that were both beautiful and symbolic. Wartime and postwar conditions shaped the series. The 1916 run was brief, and mintages fluctuated through the 1920s. By 1930 the design concluded, giving way to the Washington Quarter in 1932 for George Washington’s bicentennial.
