The Lipton Gallery is displaying a $3 million Augustus Saint-Gaudens statue that inspired the famous, similar design for Double Eagle gold coins.
Up to five different youth sports featured on the reverse each year (2027-2030), paired with a redesigned George Washington obverse.
Obverse Description
The obverse (heads) depicts a portrait of George Washington originally composed and sculpted by Laura Gardin Fraser to mark George Washington’s 200th birthday. Though her work was a recommended design for the 1932 quarter, then-Treasury Secretary Mellon ultimately selected the familiar John Flanagan design. Of Fraser, Deputy Director Gibson said, “I am proud that the new obverse design of George Washington is by one of the most prolific female sculptors of the early 20th century. Laura Gardin Fraser was the first woman to design a U.S. commemorative coin, and her work is lauded in both numismatic and artistic circles. Ninety years after she intended for it to do so, her obverse design will fittingly take its place on the quarter.”
Inscriptions are “LIBERTY,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and “2027.” The obverse design is common to all quarters issued in the series.
