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

Reverse: Designed by Phebe Hemphill and engraved by Renata Gordon, the reverse presents a breathtaking skyward perspective that places you directly beneath a Regal Fritillary butterfly as it soars above the prairie. The butterfly's wings spread majestically against a backdrop of Big Bluestem and Indian grasses—the towering native species that once covered 170 million acres of North America. The design captures the delicate balance of this threatened ecosystem, with inscriptions "TALLGRASS PRAIRIE," "KANSAS," "2020," and "E PLURIBUS UNUM" completing the composition.
