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," "QUARTER DOLLAR," "LIBERTY," and "IN GOD WE TRUST" frame this timeless design that has graced American quarters for generations.

Reverse: A captivating scene brings Weir Farm to life - an artist in a painter's smock stands before an easel outside Julian Alden Weir's historic studio, brush in hand, capturing the beauty of the Connecticut countryside. The design draws inspiration from archival photographs of the studio, Weir's own paintings created on the property, and the countless descriptions of artists finding their muse in this pastoral setting. The powerful inscription "A NATIONAL PARK FOR ART" celebrates the site's unique mission, accompanied by "WEIR FARM," "CONNECTICUT," "2020," and "E PLURIBUS UNUM."
