The Artistry Behind the Coin
Obverse: Features the classic John Flanagan portrait of George Washington, modified by William Cousins in 1999 for the State Quarter series. Washington's dignified profile faces left, with "LIBERTY" arcing above and "IN GOD WE TRUST" inscribed to the left. The date "2006" and mint mark "P" complete this timeless design.
Reverse: Designed by Donna Weaver and sculpted by Norman E. Nemeth, the reverse showcases two magnificent American bison in their natural prairie habitat. The powerful animals stand in profile, their muscular forms rendered with remarkable detail and texture. The sun rises on the horizon, casting its warm glow across the grasslands. "NORTH DAKOTA" and "1889" (the year of statehood) frame the scene, with "E PLURIBUS UNUM" completing the composition. This design pays homage to Theodore Roosevelt's conservation legacy and North Dakota's role in preserving America's wildlife heritage.
