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 every coin in your roll.
Reverse: The reverse depicts Reverend Dr. Pauli Murray's eyeglass-framed face within the shape of the word "HOPE," a powerful symbol of Murray's unwavering belief that significant societal reforms were possible when rooted in hope. A line from her poem "Dark Testament" characterizes hope as "A SONG IN A WEARY THROAT," inscribed in the design. This thoughtful composition captures both Murray's intellectual presence and poetic soul, creating a tribute that resonates with the enduring power of optimism in the face of injustice.
