The feather coin has an engraved side profile view of an eagle head, presented in the Northwest Coast form line style. Framed by the coin’s feather-shaped contour, the eagle’s eye and downward-curving beak are surrounded by variations of split-U forms that recreate the eagle’s facial features and feathers.
