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 rising from the Pacific waters, with a traditional Chamorro proa (flying proa sailing canoe) gliding across the foreground. This elegant vessel represents the seafaring heritage of the indigenous Chamorro people who have called Guam home for over 4,000 years. The inscription "GUAHAN I TANÓ MANÅMKO'" (Guam, Land of the Ancestors) honors the island's native language and cultural identity, while "GUAM 1950" and "2009" commemorate the Organic Act that granted U.S. citizenship to Guamanians and the year of issue. The design beautifully captures the island's natural beauty and enduring cultural traditions.
