Outstanding premium Gem quality for this historic commemorative issue. Both sides are richly toned in a bold blend of steel-blue, olive-gray and rose-russet. Sharply struck with a full endowment of smooth, frosty mint luster. Designed by Charles E. Barber, the Isabella quarter was authorized March 3, 1893, and production began almost immediately afterward. Petitioned by the Board of Lady Managers of the Columbian Exposition, the issue features a stylized portrait of Queen Isabella as the central obverse device, with a kneeling woman with spindle in hand signifying the industrious nature of women as the reverse design. They were sold for $1.00 each at the Exposition and a total of 24,214 were struck. It remains one of the key date issues in the United States Mint's classic commemorative coin series, and this lovely example is among the higher graded to meet with strict CAC approval.
