50 State Quarters Program Series by the US Mint. Five coins were issued each year from 1999 to 2008 with a reverse design of a member state of the United States of America.

The Obverse-side image is a portrait of George Washington by John Flanagan based on the work of Jean Antoine Houdon, a French neoclassical sculptor born March 25, 1741 and died July 15, 1828. This design came about in 1932 for the bicentennial celebration of the birth of George Washington. The Obverse design was by John Flanagan (1865–1952). His initials are under or at the bottom of the neck. Modern modifications and enhancements by William Cousins to accomdate the changing reverse images.

The Obverse-side text inscriptions: UNITED STATES OF AMERICA LIBERTY IN GOD WE TRUST QUARTER DOLLAR JF
