The Artistry Behind the Coin

Obverse: Features the restored 1932 John Flanagan portrait of George Washington, a timeless design that has graced U.S. quarters for generations. The profile captures Washington's dignified bearing, with "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "QUARTER DOLLAR," "LIBERTY," and "IN GOD WE TRUST" inscribed around the rim, along with the year 2016.

Reverse: Depicts John Brown's Fort, the fire engine house where Brown and his men made their last stand during the famous 1859 raid. The design shows the brick structure against the backdrop of the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers, with the Maryland Heights rising in the distance. The inscriptions "HARPERS FERRY," "WEST VIRGINIA," "2016," and "E PLURIBUS UNUM" frame this powerful historical scene, designed by Thomas Cleveland and sculpted by Phebe Hemphill.
