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. The inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "LIBERTY," "IN GOD WE TRUST," and "QUARTER DOLLAR" frame this timeless design.

Reverse: A stunning tribute to the missions' Spanish Colonial heritage, the design depicts elements inspired by the Spanish Colonial Real coin. Within four quadrants, powerful symbols tell the missions' story: wheat represents the farming traditions that sustained the community, graceful arches and a bell symbolize the gathering of people in faith and fellowship, a proud lion represents Spanish cultural heritage, and the flowing San Antonio River symbolizes the life-giving irrigation methods that made settlement possible. Inscriptions read "SAN ANTONIO MISSIONS," "TEXAS," "2019," and "E PLURIBUS UNUM."
