The Artistry Behind the Coin
Obverse: Features John Flanagan's classic portrait of George Washington, faithfully reproduced from the original 1932 design. Washington faces left in dignified profile, with "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "QUARTER DOLLAR," "LIBERTY," and "IN GOD WE TRUST" inscribed around the rim. The design captures the timeless dignity of America's first president.
Reverse: Showcases a magnificent thoroughbred racehorse standing proudly behind Federal Hill, the historic mansion that inspired Stephen Foster's beloved song "My Old Kentucky Home." The inscription "MY OLD KENTUCKY HOME" appears above the scene, celebrating the state's cultural heritage and musical legacy. Released in 2001, this quarter was the 15th in the State Quarters series, marking Kentucky's admission to the Union in 1792 as the 15th state. The design beautifully captures Kentucky's dual identity as both the horse capital of the world and a state rich in American musical tradition, honoring the graceful thoroughbreds that have made Kentucky racing legendary.
