From a web search ... In geometry, a <b>hendecagon</b> (also <b>undecagon</b> or endecagon) or 11-gon is an eleven-sided <b>polygon</b>. (The name <b>hendecagon</b>, from Greek hendeka &quot;eleven&quot; and gon– &quot;corner&quot;, is often preferred to the hybrid <b>undecagon</b>, whose first part is formed from Latin undecim &quot;eleven&quot;.) </p><p><br /></p><p>I wonder if the Mint did that geometrical shape to help the public differentiate this from a quarter -- although, as someone that was in college in the late 1970&#039;s and early 1980&#039;s I can say pretty assuredly that these did not circulate (much).</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://mindstar.com/cointalk_photos/TVBlack_1980_SBA_PR69DC_96.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The portrait came from a steel engraving from 1881, and unfortunately the coin designer didn&#039;t do this woman any favors in transferring her likeness to a coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://mindstar.com/cointalk_photos/Portrait_SBA_Dollar2F.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
