The scene is surrounded by a frame containing the inscriptions "FREDERICK DOUGLASS," "DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA," "2017" and "E PLURIBUS UNUM." The smooth edge is inscribed ".999 FINE SILVER 5.0 OUNCE."
New York artist John Flanagan's iconic 1932 profile image of George Washington adorns the obverse. Inscriptions include "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "LIBERTY," "IN GOD WE TRUST," "QUARTER DOLLAR" and the "P" Mint mark, which differentiates the coin form the higher mintage bullion issue.
