The Artistry Behind the Coin

Obverse: Features the classic 1932 portrait of George Washington by John Flanagan, restored to bring out the finest details of our first president's profile. The inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "QUARTER DOLLAR," "LIBERTY," and "IN GOD WE TRUST" frame this timeless design.

Reverse: Designed by Richard Masters and masterfully sculpted by Renata Gordon, the reverse transports you to Devils Island's magnificent sea caves. A lone kayaker paddles through the crystalline waters in the foreground, dwarfed by the towering sandstone formations carved by centuries of Lake Superior's waves. In the background, the historic lighthouse stands sentinel over the island, a beacon of safety for mariners navigating these treacherous waters. The inscriptions "APOSTLE ISLANDS," "WISCONSIN," "2018," and "E PLURIBUS UNUM" complete this stunning tribute to one of the Midwest's hidden gems.
