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 District of Columbia reverse design pays tribute to Duke Ellington, the legendary jazz composer and bandleader who was born in Washington, D.C. The elegant composition shows Ellington seated at his grand piano, his hands poised over the keys in a moment of musical creation. A flowing banner inscribed "JUSTICE FOR ALL" references the District's motto and ongoing quest for full representation. The design includes "DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA" and "2009" marking the year of issue, while "DUKE ELLINGTON" honors the musical genius who brought sophistication and artistry to American jazz. This powerful tribute celebrates both D.C.'s rich cultural heritage and its continuing importance as the nation's capital.
