A chrysanthemum usually is a double flower that is not capable of producing seed. When they do, they produce it after the flower dies and the petals fall off. They are Daisy family (Compositae), so they will produce seed in a head containing many seeds, rather like a sunflower or a thistle.
Most chrysanthemums are propogated by cuttings.

When the flower is pollinated it will produce seed.
Typically, mums are not grown by seed. A lot of mums are cultivated varieties, meaning that they are propagated vegetatively by cuttings. This is done in order to keep the desired trait of the the plant you have (ex. flower color).
If you tried to grow a mum in your garden by seed, it probably wouldn't grow out to be like the one you had. Plants will revert back to their 'parent type' if grown by seed.

Pollinate the flowers and they should develop.
