Exquisite Missions Design by Chris Costello
This coin shares a common obverse with other issues in the America the Beautiful Series. A left-side portrait of President George Washington appears in the center, just as it has on the country's quarters since 1932. The image was designed by John Flanagan. "LIBERTY" and "IN GOD WE TRUST" are inscribed to the left and right of the effigy, while "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and "QUARTER DOLLAR" are inscribed above and below it, respectively.
Joe Menna sculpted Chris Costello's reverse design. In a tribute to the Spanish Colonial Real, it is divided into quadrants. Each quadrant bears designs that celebrate an aspect of the missions. From the upper left clockwise, they are arches and a bell, a lion rampant, the San Antonio River, and wheat. They represent community, Spanish heritage, natural resources and irrigation, and farming, respectively. A rim frame encircles the image. It bears four inscriptions, including "SAN ANTONIO MISSIONS" and "TEXAS."
