Both obverse and reverse designs were the work of Chief Engraver of the U.S. Mint, Frank Gasparro, whose initials FG are located below the portrait and the eagle. The size of this coin caused it to be confused with the quarter and it failed to gain widespread public acceptance. No coins were made for circulation from 1981 to 1998.
