The Artistry Behind the Coin

Obverse: The classic Washington quarter obverse features John Flanagan's timeless portrait of George Washington, first introduced in 1932. The profile captures America's first president with dignified grace, surrounded by the inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "QUARTER DOLLAR," "LIBERTY," and "IN GOD WE TRUST."

Reverse: The Connecticut reverse design immortalizes the legendary Charter Oak, one of America's most famous trees and a symbol of colonial resistance. In 1687, Connecticut colonists hid their royal charter in this ancient white oak to protect it from the tyrannical Governor Andros, who sought to revoke their freedoms. The majestic tree stands proudly on the coin, its spreading branches representing the enduring spirit of liberty and self-governance. The inscriptions "CONNECTICUT 1788" and "1999" commemorate the state's ratification of the Constitution and the quarter's release year, while "THE CHARTER OAK" identifies this historic symbol of American independence and determination.
