The paper is devoted to the qualitative investigation of the quadratic Hamiltonian system on the plane \[ \frac{dx^j} {dt}= a^j+ a_\alpha^j x^\alpha+ a_{\alpha\beta}^j x^\alpha x^\beta, \quad j,\alpha,\beta= 1,2 \] with real coefficients and with the tensor \(a_{\alpha\beta}^j\) to be symmetric with respect to the lower indices. The aim here is to determine a topological class of this system directly via its coefficients. In doing that the authors prove the existence of 28 topologically distinct classes of the above Hamiltonian system. Notably, the necessary and sufficient affine-invariant conditions are found to realize each of these classes in the space \(E^{12}\) of coefficients of the full quadratic system.
