The Artistry Behind the Coin
Obverse: Features the classic portrait of George Washington, originally designed by John Flanagan and modified by William Cousins for the 50 State Quarters Program. Washington's dignified profile faces left, with "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "LIBERTY," "IN GOD WE TRUST," and "QUARTER DOLLAR" inscribed around the rim, maintaining the timeless elegance that has graced American quarters since 1932.
Reverse: Showcases a powerful design celebrating Pennsylvania's identity as the Keystone State. The reverse features the Commonwealth statue standing proudly atop the state capitol dome in Harrisburg, flanked by the state outline and a keystone symbol representing Pennsylvania's central role in the formation of the United States. The inscription "VIRTUE LIBERTY INDEPENDENCE" appears alongside "PENNSYLVANIA" and "1787," marking the year Pennsylvania ratified the Constitution. The date "1999" and "E PLURIBUS UNUM" complete this tribute to the state where American independence was born.
