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: John Mercanti's masterful design showcases the magnificent New River Gorge Bridge spanning the dramatic gorge carved by the New River through the Appalachian Mountains. The bridge's graceful arch dominates the composition, symbolizing both the natural beauty and human ingenuity that characterize West Virginia. The inscription "NEW RIVER GORGE" identifies this engineering marvel, while the state name "WEST VIRGINIA" arcs above. The year of statehood "1863" appears to the left, marking West Virginia's unique Civil War-era admission to the Union, while "2005" and "E PLURIBUS UNUM" complete the design. The scene evokes the state's outdoor recreation heritage, with whitewater rafting being a popular activity beneath the bridge.

Why Collectors Choose This Roll

This quarter captures the essence of a state defined by its mountains, rivers, and the resilient spirit of its people.

Purchasing a full bank-wrapped roll offers significant advantages over acquiring individual coins.
