The Artistry Behind the Coin
Obverse: John Flanagan's timeless portrait of George Washington graces the obverse, modified by William Cousins in 1997 for the State Quarters series. Washington faces left in dignified profile, with "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" arcing above, "QUARTER DOLLAR" below, and "LIBERTY" to the left. The motto "IN GOD WE TRUST" appears to the right of Washington's portrait, while the "P" mint mark is positioned just below.
Reverse: Alfred Maletsky's charming design celebrates Wisconsin's agricultural bounty with a pastoral composition featuring a dairy cow's head prominently in the foreground, symbolizing the state's position as a leading dairy producer. Behind the cow, a round wheel of cheese and an ear of corn represent Wisconsin's famous cheese-making tradition and agricultural diversity. A banner proclaims "FORWARD," the state motto reflecting Wisconsin's progressive spirit and pioneering heritage. The inscriptions "WISCONSIN" and "1848" mark the state name and year of admission to the Union, while "2004" and "E PLURIBUS UNUM" complete the design. The composition evokes the rolling farmlands and rural character that remain central to Wisconsin's identity.
