The Artistry Behind the Coin

Obverse: The obverse presents a stunning portrait of George Washington, originally composed and sculpted by Laura Gardin Fraser to commemorate Washington's 200th birthday. Though recommended for the 1932 quarter, this elegant design was passed over in favor of John Flanagan's familiar profile. Now, nearly a century later, Fraser's artistic vision finally graces America's circulating coinage, adding historical depth to each coin in your set.

Reverse: The reverse depicts Reverend Dr. Pauli Murray's eyeglass-framed face within the shape of the word "HOPE," symbolizing Murray's unwavering belief that significant societal reforms were possible when rooted in hope. A line from her powerful poem "Dark Testament" characterizes hope as "A SONG IN A WEARY THROAT," an inscription that captures the resilience and determination that defined Murray's life. This thoughtful design merges portraiture with typography to create a visually striking tribute to a woman who fought tirelessly for justice and equality.
