The Artistry Behind the Coin

Obverse: The familiar profile of George Washington graces the obverse, rendered in John Flanagan's timeless 1932 design that has become synonymous with American coinage. Washington's dignified portrait faces left, with "LIBERTY" arcing above and "IN GOD WE TRUST" positioned to the left. The date "2003" and the Denver "D" mintmark complete this classic composition, connecting past and present in a single elegant design.

Reverse: Illinois's reverse design presents a powerful tribute to the state's most revered figure, featuring a young Abraham Lincoln standing before an outline of the state. Behind him, the Chicago skyline rises against the horizon, symbolizing Illinois's role as a center of commerce and innovation. A farm scene on the left represents the state's agricultural heritage, while twenty-one stars encircle the design, commemorating Illinois as the 21st state. The inscription "21st STATE / CENTURY" acknowledges both the state's admission in 1818 and the dawn of the 21st century. The national motto "E PLURIBUS UNUM" and "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" frame the composition, with "QUARTER DOLLAR" defining the denomination. This thoughtful design bridges Illinois's past and future through the enduring legacy of Lincoln.
