| Obverse description | Liberty seated left upon a rock, draped in flowing robes, holding a liberty pole surmounted by a Phrygian cap in her right hand and resting her left hand upon a heraldic shield inscribed with horizontal striping. Two crossed arrows appear beneath the date, denoting the reduced weight standard introduced in 1853. Thirteen six-pointed stars are arranged around the periphery, seven to the left and six to the right, within a beaded border. The date appears in the exergue below the central device. |

| Reverse description | A spread-winged American bald eagle displayed at center, with head turned to the viewer's left, bearing on its breast a vertical heraldic shield with horizontal striping. The eagle clutches an olive branch in its right talon and three arrows in its left talon, referencing the weight-reduction arrows motif of this type. The arc legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA curves along the upper periphery, while the denomination QUAR. DOL. appears in the lower field, all within a beaded border. No motto ribbon is present above the eagle, distinguishing this as the 'without motto' type. |
