"The Sentinel of Liberty: The 1917-S Standing Liberty Quarter" is a captivating monochrome portrayal of one of the most iconic coins in American numismatic history. This early artwork of mine holds a special significance, as it was one of my first attempts at drawing a coin after my inaugural Lincoln cent piece.
As I reflect on this piece, I notice the distinct difference in my artistic style between the obverse and reverse, which were completed about a year and a half apart. This contrast serves as a fascinating reminder of my artistic growth and development during that period.
Despite being an early work, The Sentinel of Liberty remains a popular piece among collectors and enthusiasts. While I haven't yet had the opportunity to create a full-color version, I'm grateful for the demand that has kept me busy with commissions.
This artwork captures the elegance and historical significance of the 1917-S Standing Liberty Quarter, designed by Hermon Atkins MacNeil. The monochrome palette enhances the timeless elegance and intricate craftsmanship of this remarkable piece.
These signed and numbered limited-edition prints are part of a series of numismatic artworks created by Robert Julian. Each print is carefully crafted to capture the essence of these historic coins.

About polished aluminum Prints
Our polished aluminum prints are crafted using an innovative process that infuses dyes directly into specially coated aluminum sheets. Because the image becomes part of the surface, rather than sitting on top of it, the result is an almost magical luminescence.
Built to last, the ultra-hard, scratch-resistant surface is both waterproof and weatherproof, allowing for effortless cleaning and care. While these prints thrive in well-lit spaces, we recommend avoiding direct sunlight—just as you would with any fine art piece.
