The Artistry Behind the Coin

Obverse: Features the classic John Flanagan portrait of George Washington, first introduced in 1932. Washington's dignified profile faces left, with "LIBERTY" arcing above and "IN GOD WE TRUST" inscribed to the left. The date "2009" and the "D" mint mark complete this timeless design.

Reverse: Phebe Hemphill's evocative design captures the essence of Chamorro culture and the islands' tropical splendor. At center stands a towering latte stone, the ancient megalithic pillar that served as the foundation for traditional houses and remains a powerful symbol of Chamorro strength and heritage. Two graceful white fairy terns soar overhead, their wings outstretched against the Pacific sky. In the foreground, a traditional proa (outrigger canoe) glides across turquoise waters, its sail billowing as it passes beneath swaying coconut palms. The inscription "COMMONWEALTH OF THE NORTHERN MARIANA ISLANDS" curves along the top, with "E PLURIBUS UNUM" completing the design.
