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 Althea Gibson with a racket in one hand and a ball in the other while standing confidently by a net on a tennis court as if in preparation before playing a match.

Althea Gibson (1927–2003) was a trailblazing American tennis player and golfer who broke racial barriers in sports. She became the first African American to compete in and win a Grand Slam title, claiming the French Open in 1956, followed by back-to-back victories at Wimbledon and the U.S. Open in 1957 and 1958. Renowned for her powerful athleticism and grace on the court, Gibson paved the way for future generations of Black athletes in tennis and beyond. After retiring from tennis, she became the first African American woman to join the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA). Her groundbreaking achievements earned her numerous accolades, including induction into the International Tennis Hall of Fame, and her legacy remains a testament to perseverance, talent, and courage in the face of adversity.
