The Artistry Behind the Coin

Obverse: The classic portrait of George Washington, originally designed by John Flanagan in 1932, graces the obverse. Washington's dignified profile faces left, with "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "QUARTER DOLLAR," "LIBERTY," and "IN GOD WE TRUST" encircling the first president. The "D" mint mark appears below "IN GOD WE TRUST," signifying its Denver origin.

Reverse: The reverse showcases a graceful vintage sailboat navigating the waters of Narragansett Bay, with the majestic Pell (Newport) Bridge spanning the background. The design beautifully captures Rhode Island's deep connection to the sea and its proud maritime traditions. The inscriptions "RHODE ISLAND," "1790" (the year Rhode Island ratified the Constitution, becoming the 13th state), "2001" (the year of issue), and "E PLURIBUS UNUM" frame this tribute to the Ocean State. The design was created by United States Mint sculptor-engraver Thomas D. Rogers Sr., based on concepts submitted by Rhode Island citizens.
