The Artistry Behind the Coin

Obverse: Features the classic portrait of George Washington by John Flanagan, modernized by William Cousins for the quarters program. The inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "QUARTER DOLLAR," "LIBERTY," and "IN GOD WE TRUST" frame Washington's profile, while the "D" mintmark appears below the portrait.

Reverse: Joseph Menna's vibrant design showcases the iconic yellow cedar or yellow elder flower (Tecoma stans), the official territorial flower of the U.S. Virgin Islands, blooming in the foreground. Behind the tropical blossoms, an outline map of the three main islands—St. Croix, St. John, and St. Thomas—floats against the Caribbean horizon. A Tyre palm tree stands tall, representing the lush vegetation of these island paradises. The inscriptions "UNITED STATES VIRGIN ISLANDS," "2009," and "E PLURIBUS UNUM" complete this tropical tribute, celebrating the natural beauty and unique character of America's Caribbean territory.
