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 heritage. Rice stalks dominate the left side, representing Arkansas's position as a leading rice producer. A brilliant diamond sparkles in the center, honoring the only diamond-producing state in the nation - Arkansas's Crater of Diamonds State Park where visitors can still search for gems. A mallard duck soars gracefully across the design, symbolizing the state'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 quarter's release year, while "THE NATURAL STATE" proclaims Arkansas's official nickname.
