The Artistry Behind the Coin

Obverse: The classic portrait of George Washington, designed by John Flanagan and modified by William Cousins for the State Quarter series, graces the obverse. Washington's dignified profile faces left, surrounded by the inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "QUARTER DOLLAR," "LIBERTY," and "IN GOD WE TRUST," with the Philadelphia "P" mint mark elegantly placed.

Reverse: Designed by Charles Vickers and engraved by Phebe Hemphill, the Alaska quarter showcases a powerful grizzly bear emerging from the waters with a salmon firmly grasped in its jaws - a scene that captures the raw beauty and abundant wildlife of the Last Frontier. The North Star shines brilliantly in the upper right, symbolizing Alaska's position as the northernmost state and appearing on the state flag. The state name "ALASKA" arches across the top, with "1959" marking the year of statehood and "2003" the year of issue. The motto "E PLURIBUS UNUM" completes this tribute to America's wilderness jewel.
