The Artistry Behind the Coin

Obverse: Features the classic portrait of George Washington, designed by John Flanagan and used on quarters since 1932. The familiar profile of our first president anchors this commemorative issue in the timeless tradition of American coinage, with "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "QUARTER DOLLAR," and "LIBERTY" inscribed around the rim, along with "IN GOD WE TRUST."

Reverse: Showcases a breathtaking design celebrating Puerto Rico's natural splendor and cultural identity. The reverse depicts a sentry box (garita) from Castillo San Felipe del Morro, the iconic 16th-century fortress overlooking San Juan Bay, framed by a vibrant hibiscus flower – Puerto Rico's national bloom. The imagery evokes the island's Spanish colonial heritage, tropical beauty, and strategic importance throughout history. The inscriptions "PUERTO RICO," "2009," and "E PLURIBUS UNUM" complete this evocative tribute.
