The Artistry Behind the Coin
Obverse: Features the iconic 1932 portrait of George Washington by John Flanagan, restored to bring out the finest details of our first president's dignified profile. 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. Landing craft approach the beach as troops wade through the surf, their determination captured in striking detail.

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