The Artistry Behind the Coin

Obverse: Features the familiar portrait of George Washington, designed by John Flanagan and restored to bring out the finest details. The inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "QUARTER DOLLAR," "LIBERTY," and "IN GOD WE TRUST" frame this iconic American image.

Reverse: A masterful tribute to the San Antonio Missions, this design draws inspiration from the Spanish Colonial Real coin. Four symbolic quadrants tell the story of mission life: golden wheat stalks represent the agricultural abundance cultivated by the missions; graceful arches and a mission bell symbolize the community and faith that bound the settlers together; a regal lion honors the Spanish cultural heritage that shaped the region; and flowing water from the San Antonio River represents the ingenious irrigation systems that sustained life in the Texas frontier. The inscriptions "SAN ANTONIO MISSIONS," "TEXAS," "2019," and "E PLURIBUS UNUM" complete this evocative design.
