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 dramatic contrast that makes Great Sand Dunes National Park so visually striking. The imagery showcases the towering sand dunes with the rugged Sangre de Cristo Mountains rising in the background, illustrating the unique juxtaposition of desert-like dunes at the foot of alpine peaks. Inscriptions frame the design, celebrating this Colorado treasure where wind-sculpted sand creates an ever-changing landscape. The artistry evokes the sense of wonder visitors feel when encountering these massive dunes—the tallest in North America—in such an unexpected mountain setting.
