The Artistry Behind the Coin

Obverse: Features the classic portrait of George Washington, originally designed by John Flanagan in 1932 and modified by William Cousins for the 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 for generations.

Reverse: Showcases a powerful design celebrating Pennsylvania's central role in American history. The reverse features the Commonwealth statue that stands atop the Pennsylvania State Capitol dome in Harrisburg, flanked by a keystone symbolizing Pennsylvania's nickname as the "Keystone State." The state outline appears prominently, with the inscription "VIRTUE LIBERTY INDEPENDENCE" reflecting Pennsylvania's state motto. The design captures the spirit of the state where both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were signed. "PENNSYLVANIA" and "1787" (the year of statehood) frame the design, with "E PLURIBUS UNUM" and the minting year "1999" completing this historic tribute.
