The Standing Liberty Quarter was designed by sculptor Hermon Atkins MacNeil . His design reflected America's values of peace and protection during the World War I era. The original 1916 design featured a bare-breasted Liberty, which was later modified in 1917 due to public concern. The 1917 design update also added chain mail to Liberty's torso, symbolizing readiness to defend the country.
