Washington D.C. quarter designs - NumisMaster

May 16

Drawings of designs for the Washington, D.C., quarter as well as those for the five insular territories - Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, U.S. Virgin Islands and the Commonwealth of Northern Marianas Islands have been sent to the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts in anticipation of its May 15 meeting and to the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee for its May 20 meeting review.

Some of the coins contain inscriptions in three languages - English, Latin and the islands’ native languages - and each contains design elements that were suggested by government authorities and forwarded to the Mint. The accompanying illustrations were obtained early through a Freedom of Information Act inquiry.
