The Artistry Behind the Coin
Obverse: Features John Flanagan's classic portrait of George Washington, faithfully reproduced from the original 1932 design. Washington faces left in dignified profile, with "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "QUARTER DOLLAR," "LIBERTY," and "IN GOD WE TRUST" inscribed around the rim. The design captures the timeless dignity of America's first president.
Reverse: Showcases the majestic Pemaquid Point Light standing sentinel on Maine's rocky coastline, with a graceful schooner sailing in the foreground. The inscription "MAINE 1820" commemorates the state's admission to the Union, while "DIRIGO" (Latin for "I lead") appears as the state motto. The design evokes Maine's maritime heritage, its role in American shipbuilding, and the enduring symbolism of lighthouses guiding sailors safely home. Released in 2003, this quarter was the 23rd in the State Quarters series.
