The Artistry Behind the Coin

The inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "QUARTER DOLLAR," "LIBERTY," and "IN GOD WE TRUST" frame Washington's dignified profile, while "2002" and "D" mark the year and mint of issue.

Reverse: A stunning tribute to Ohio's pioneering spirit, the reverse showcases the Wright Brothers' 1903 Flyer soaring above the outline of an astronaut - symbolizing Ohio's contributions from the dawn of flight to the space age. The state outline anchors the composition, with "OHIO" and "1803" (the year of statehood) prominently displayed. The inscription "Birthplace of Aviation Pioneers" celebrates Ohio's legacy as home to the Wright Brothers and Neil Armstrong. The design was created by Donna Weaver and sculpted by Mint engraver Norman E. Nemeth.
