The Artistry Behind the Coin

Obverse: Features John Flanagan's timeless portrait of George Washington, the design that has graced the quarter since 1932. Washington faces left in dignified profile, with "LIBERTY" arcing above and "IN GOD WE TRUST" inscribed to the left. The date "2003" appears below, marking this coin's place in numismatic history.

Reverse: Missouri's state design presents a powerful composition featuring Lewis and Clark's historic return to St. Louis in 1806, depicted through the iconic Gateway Arch rising majestically against the horizon. Three figures stand before the mighty Missouri River, representing the explorers Meriwether Lewis and William Clark alongside York or Sacagawea, commemorating the Corps of Discovery expedition. "MISSOURI" arcs proudly across the top, with "1821" marking the year of statehood, and the national motto "E PLURIBUS UNUM" completing this tribute to the 24th state and its pivotal role in westward expansion.
