Depicts a portrait of George Washington facing right, "Liberty" above, "In God We Trust" on the left and date with mint mark below on the right.

The portrait was originally composed and sculpted by Laura Gardin Fraser. It was the recommended design for the 1932 quarter to mark Washington’s 200th birthday, but then-Treasury Secretary Mellon ultimately selected the left-facing John Flannigan design. Laura Gardin Fraser was one of the most prolific female sculptors of the early 20th century. She designed the Alabama Centennial Half Dollar in 1921, becoming the first woman to design a U.S. coin. The Mint used her George Washington design on a 1999 gold commemorative half eagle coin marking the 200th anniversary of Washington’s death.

George Washington (1732–1799) was the first President of the United States (1789–97), the Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, and one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. He presided over the convention that drafted the current United States Constitution and during his lifetime was called the "father of his country".

Depicts Dr. Mary Edwards Walker holding her pocket surgical kit, with the Medal of Honor on her uniform, and surgeon’s pin at her collar. After receiving the award, she continued to wear the Medal of Honor for the rest of her life. The left side of the design showcases the details of the Medal of Honor.

Mary Edwards Walker (1832–1919), known as Dr. Mary Walker, was a pioneering American abolitionist, prohibitionist, and surgeon, recognized as the sole woman to be awarded the Medal of Honor. After obtaining her medical degree in 1855, she faced initial rejection from the Union Army during the Civil War but eventually served as the first female surgeon in the U.S. Army, being captured by Confederate forces while treating wounded civilians. Post-war, Walker received the Medal of Honor for her dedication to treating the wounded across enemy lines, making her the only woman and one of eight civilians to be honored. Despite facing controversy, her name was reinstated on the Army Medal of Honor Roll in 1977. Walker continued her advocacy for women's suffrage through writing and lecturing until her death in 1919.

The Medal of Honor (MOH) is the United States government's highest and most prestigious military decoration that may be awarded to recognize American soldiers, sailors, Marines, airmen, guardians, and coast guardsmen who have distinguished themselves by acts of valor. The medal is normally awarded by the President of the United States, but as it is presented "in the name of the United States Congress", it is often referred to (erroneously) as the "Congressional Medal of Honor".
