The Artistry Behind the Coin

Obverse: Features the classic portrait of George Washington by John Flanagan, modernized by William Cousins for the State Quarters series. The inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "QUARTER DOLLAR," "LIBERTY," and "IN GOD WE TRUST" frame Washington's profile, while the "D" mintmark appears below the portrait.

Reverse: Edgar Z. Steever's powerful design depicts three historic ships—Susan Constant, Godspeed, and Discovery—sailing toward the Virginia coast, commemorating the 1607 Jamestown settlement, the first permanent English colony in America. The vessels appear in profile against the horizon, their sails billowing with promise and adventure as they carry settlers toward a new world that would shape the course of history. The inscriptions "VIRGINIA," "1788" (the year of statehood), "2000," and "E PLURIBUS UNUM" frame this maritime scene, while the motto "JAMESTOWN 1607-2007" anchors the design, looking forward to the 400th anniversary of this momentous landing that established the foundation for what would become the United States of America.
