The Artistry Behind the Coin
Obverse: Features the classic 1932 John Flanagan portrait of George Washington, faithfully restored to honor the original design. The inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "LIBERTY," "IN GOD WE TRUST," and "QUARTER DOLLAR" frame this iconic American image.
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, guiding mariners through these treacherous waters. The inscriptions "APOSTLE ISLANDS," "WISCONSIN," "2018," and "E PLURIBUS UNUM" complete this stunning tribute to one of America's most unique national lakeshores.
