The Artistry Behind the Coin

Obverse: The classic Washington quarter obverse features John Flanagan's timeless portrait of George Washington, first introduced in 1932. The profile captures America's first president with dignified grace, surrounded by the inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "QUARTER DOLLAR," "LIBERTY," and "IN GOD WE TRUST."

Reverse: The Arkansas reverse design beautifully captures the state's diverse natural resources and economic foundations. Rice stalks dominate the left side, representing Arkansas's position as a leading rice producer. A sparkling diamond appears on the right, honoring the only diamond-producing state in the nation - Crater of Diamonds State Park where visitors can still search for gems. A mallard duck soars gracefully overhead, symbolizing Arkansas's rich wetlands and importance to waterfowl migration. A lake and pine trees complete the scenic composition. The inscriptions "ARKANSAS 1836" and "2003" commemorate statehood and the year of issue, while "THE NATURAL STATE" proclaims Arkansas's official nickname.
