The Artistry Behind the Coin

Obverse: The quarter features John Flanagan's timeless portrait of George Washington, a design that has graced U.S. quarters since 1932. Washington's dignified profile faces left, surrounded by the inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "QUARTER DOLLAR," "LIBERTY," and "IN GOD WE TRUST." This familiar design provides continuity across the entire America the Beautiful series.

Reverse: The reverse design captures the essence of Chickasaw National Recreation Area with imagery that celebrates both its natural springs and cultural significance. The artistry depicts Lincoln Bridge, a historic stone structure that spans Travertine Creek, symbolizing the connection between visitors and the park's natural wonders. Inscriptions of "CHICKASAW," "OKLAHOMA," "2011," and "E PLURIBUS UNUM" frame the design, honoring this special place where mineral-rich springs have attracted people for thousands of years. The design pays tribute to the Chickasaw Nation and the natural springs that have been valued for their healing properties since long before the area became a national recreation area.
