The obverse of this striking coin offers viewers a glimpse into Florida’s celebrated Everglades National Park. It depicts several of the preservation’s most notable birds in their native marshland swamp. Shown in the foreground of the design is a bird known as the anhinga. It is depicted majestically spreading its wings as it peers off into the distant horizon. In the background behind it is another native bird, called the roseate spoonbill which is wading in the shallow waters, perhaps in search of food. Aviary enthusiasts will be sure to appreciate both the accurate portrayal of these two unique birds as well as their native habitat. Inscribed along the outer edge of the coin are its mintage year accompanied by the words, “Florida,” “Everglades,” and “E Pluribus Unum.”
Displayed on the reverse of the coin is a portrait of George Washington. It was designed by artist, John Flanagan in 1932 for the artwork of the eponymous Washington quarter. It depicts the United States’ first president turned in profile to his left and attired in his trademark powdered wig. Serving as a frame to Washington’s dignified profile is a ring of text, which includes the nation’s title and the coin’s denomination. The phrases, “Liberty” and “In God We Trust” are engraved to the left and right of his profile respectively.
