The Artistry Behind the Coin

Obverse: Features John Flanagan's timeless portrait of George Washington, modified by William Cousins in 1999 for the State Quarter series. The profile captures Washington's dignified leadership, surrounded by the inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "LIBERTY," "IN GOD WE TRUST," and "QUARTER DOLLAR."

Reverse: Designed by Donna Weaver and sculpted by John Mercanti, the reverse showcases an early Wright Brothers aircraft soaring above the outline of Ohio, with an astronaut's space suit on the right - symbolizing Ohio's dual legacy of pioneering both flight and space exploration. The state outline is flanked by the inscription "Birthplace of Aviation Pioneers," with "OHIO" and "1803" marking the year of statehood, and "2002" commemorating the bicentennial. The design honors Ohio's remarkable contribution of producing both the inventors of flight and numerous astronauts, including Neil Armstrong and John Glenn.
