The Artistry Behind the Coin
Obverse: The classic Washington quarter obverse features John Flanagan's timeless portrait of George Washington, first introduced in 1932. The profile captures America's first president with dignified grace, surrounded by the inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "QUARTER DOLLAR," "LIBERTY," and "IN GOD WE TRUST."
Reverse: The Guam reverse design showcases the distinctive outline of the island with a graceful proa sailing canoe gliding across Hagåtña Bay. The traditional Chamorro vessel, with its characteristic outrigger and triangular sail, represents the seafaring heritage of Guam's indigenous people. The inscription "GUÅHAN I TÅNÓ MANOHAN" (Guam, Land of the Chamorro) honors the native language, while "GUAM 1950" and "2009" commemorate the Organic Act that granted U.S. citizenship to Guamanians and the year of issue. This evocative design captures the island's natural beauty and cultural pride.
