The inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "LIBERTY," "IN GOD WE TRUST," and "QUARTER DOLLAR" frame this timeless design that has graced American quarters for generations.

Reverse: Designed by Ronald D. Sanders and engraved by Phebe Hemphill, the reverse powerfully depicts American forces coming ashore at Asan Bay during the 1944 liberation of Guam.

The inscriptions "WAR IN THE PACIFIC," "GUAM," "2019," and "E PLURIBUS UNUM" complete this moving tribute to the Greatest Generation's sacrifice.
