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 Revolutionary history. Caesar Rodney rides his horse at full gallop on his legendary midnight journey from Dover to Philadelphia in July 1776. Despite illness, Rodney rode through the night to cast Delaware's deciding vote for independence, ensuring the Declaration would be unanimous among the colonies. The inscriptions "THE FIRST STATE," "DELAWARE 1787," and "1999" honor Delaware's distinction as the first state to ratify the Constitution and the quarter's historic release year. This powerful design launched a numismatic phenomenon that would captivate millions of Americans.
