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 Georgia reverse design beautifully captures the essence of the Peach State with elegant simplicity. A ripe peach takes center stage, symbolizing Georgia's agricultural heritage and its nickname. Graceful live oak sprigs frame the composition, representing the majestic trees that define Georgia's landscape and evoke images of antebellum plantations and Spanish moss-draped Southern charm. The outline of Georgia anchors the design, with "GEORGIA 1788" commemorating the state's ratification of the Constitution and "1999" marking the year of issue. The state motto "WISDOM JUSTICE MODERATION" completes this tribute to one of America's original thirteen colonies.
