The obverse of the coin features a portrait of Liberty facing to the right. The portrait was designed by Charles E. Barber, who was the Chief Engraver of the United States Mint from 1879 to 1917. The reverse of the coin features a wreath of wheat, cotton, corn, and tobacco. The wreath is encircled by the words "United States of America" and "Twenty Cents."
The 1897 twenty-cent piece is a common coin, and it can be purchased for a few dollars. The price of the coin will vary depending on its condition and rarity.
