The Artistry Behind the Coin
Obverse: John Flanagan's beloved portrait of George Washington returns in this revived design, marking a nostalgic callback to the quarter's appearance from 1932 to 1998. The portrait is rendered larger and in higher relief than the modified version used during the State Quarters, DC and U.S. Territories, and America the Beautiful programs. Washington faces left in dignified profile, capturing the strength and resolve of America's first president. The inscriptions "LIBERTY," "IN GOD WE TRUST," and "2021" frame the portrait, while the "D" mint mark appears below Washington's neck.
Reverse: The dramatic reverse design captures General George Washington standing resolute in a boat as he commands his troops through the treacherous crossing of the ice-filled Delaware River. The scene evokes the famous 1851 painting by Emanuel Leutze, showing Washington's determination during this pivotal overnight military maneuver on Christmas night 1776. The composition conveys motion, courage, and the desperate stakes of the Revolutionary cause. Inscriptions include "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "E PLURIBUS UNUM," "CROSSING THE DELAWARE," and "QUARTER DOLLAR," anchoring this historic moment in numismatic form.
