The Artistry Behind the Coin
Obverse: Features John Flanagan's iconic portrait of George Washington, which has graced the quarter since 1932. The profile captures Washington's dignified bearing, surrounded by the inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "QUARTER DOLLAR," "LIBERTY," and "IN GOD WE TRUST."
Reverse: The New Jersey design captures a defining moment in American history - Washington's legendary crossing of the Delaware River on Christmas night, 1776. The dramatic scene depicts Washington standing resolute in the boat as his troops navigate the icy waters, a turning point that led to victory at the Battle of Trenton. The design includes the state motto "CROSSROADS OF THE REVOLUTION," acknowledging New Jersey's strategic importance during the Revolutionary War. The composition brilliantly conveys courage, determination, and the birth of American independence.
