The Artistry Behind the Coin

Obverse: The obverse showcases Laura Gardin Fraser's elegant portrait of George Washington, originally sculpted in 1931 to commemorate Washington's 200th birthday. Though recommended for the 1932 quarter, this design was passed over in favor of John Flanagan's familiar profile. Nearly a century later, Fraser's vision finally graces America's circulating coinage, offering a fresh perspective on our first president with refined detail and graceful composition that honors both Washington's legacy and Fraser's artistic achievement.

Reverse: The reverse design pays powerful tribute to Ida B. Wells, capturing her unwavering commitment to truth and justice. The design emblematically represents her accomplishments as an investigative journalist who documented lynching atrocities, a suffragist who fought for women's voting rights, and a civil rights activist who co-founded the NAACP and challenged systemic racism. The imagery reflects her courage in using the power of the press to expose injustice and advocate for change, embodying the spirit of a woman who risked her life to speak truth to power.
