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 Delaware reverse design immortalizes one of the most dramatic moments in American history - Caesar Rodney's legendary midnight ride on July 1-2, 1776. Despite suffering from cancer and asthma, Rodney rode 80 miles through a thunderstorm from Dover to Philadelphia to cast Delaware's tie-breaking vote for independence. The design shows Rodney on horseback in full gallop, his determination captured in every detail. The inscriptions "DELAWARE 1787" and "1999" commemorate Delaware's distinction as the first state to ratify the Constitution and the quarter's historic release year. "THE FIRST STATE" proudly proclaims Delaware's unique place in American history, making this the perfect coin to launch the State Quarters Program.
