The "Flying Eagle" design was only used on the first small cents from 1856 to 1858, look at the coin again and post new question.

Flying Eagle cent was created in 1857.
There isn't a flying eagle $2.50 gold piece. All coins of that denomination struck from 1908 to 1929 show an eagle with its wings folded and perched on a bundle of arrows. There's more information about 1911 quarter-eagles at the Related Question.

Do you mean "eagle quarter" or "quarter eagle"?There really isn't any US coin called an "eagle quarter"because ALL quarters up to 1998 had an eagle on the back.However, there WAS a coin called a "quarter eagle" - it was a gold coin with the somewhat strange denomination of $2.50 that was issued up till the US went off the gold standard in the early 1930s.
On the back of a quarter is an eagle.
Look at the coins again. No Flying Eagle cents are dated 1886 or 1909. They were only struck from 1856 to 1858.
The eagle represents the strength of our nation.
The United States national bird is the bald eagle. :-)
