The Artistry Behind the Coin
Obverse: Features John Flanagan's classic portrait of George Washington, modified by William Cousins in 1999 for the State Quarters series. Washington's dignified profile faces left, with "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "LIBERTY," "IN GOD WE TRUST," and "QUARTER DOLLAR" inscribed around the rim.
Reverse: Designed by Susan Gamble and sculpted by Phebe Hemphill, the reverse showcases the state bird (Scissor-tailed Flycatcher) in graceful flight above a field of Indian Blanket wildflowers, Oklahoma's state wildflower. The design captures the natural splendor of the prairie state with "OKLAHOMA," "1907," "2008," and "E PLURIBUS UNUM" completing the composition.
