First used on the Quarter Eagle in 1796, Robert Scot's rendition of the Great Seal of the United States took its place on the Silver Dollar beginning in 1798. This Large Eagle reverse, as it has since become known, replaced the Small Eagle motif that had originally been mated with the Draped Bust obverse. The new design would remain in use until President Thomas Jefferson suspended Silver Dollar production early in the 19th century.
