Overview

A United States quarter dollar featuring George Washington on the obverse and symbols of the San Antonio Missions on the reverse.

Historical significance

Part of the America the Beautiful Quarters Program (2010-2021), this coin honors the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park in Texas, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Obverse (front)

Features the portrait of George Washington by John Flanagan, with inscriptions UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, LIBERTY, IN GOD WE TRUST, and QUARTER DOLLAR.

Reverse (back)

Designed by Chris Costello. It depicts elements of a Spanish Colonial Real coin, showing wheat, arches, a bell, and a lion, symbolizing aspects of mission life. Inscriptions: SAN ANTONIO MISSIONS, TEXAS, 2019, E PLURIBUS UNUM.

Estimated value

$0.25 (Face Value) in circulated condition, $1-$5 in high uncirculated grades (MS-65+).

What drives this coin's value

Mint state condition (MS-67 or higher), the presence of a 'W' (West Point) mint mark (though this specimen is a 'P'), and significant doubling or striking errors.

Grade assessment

Extremely Fine to About Uncirculated (EF/AU). Showing some surface bag marks and light wear on the hair details and high points of the reverse design.

Mintage & rarity

Approx. 272,800,000 (Common). Philadelphia mintage was very high for this year.

Authenticity & counterfeit red flags

Check for crispness of detail and a distinct reeded edge. Weight should be exactly 5.67g. Counterfeits of common clad quarters are extremely rare.

Notable varieties & errors

Collectors look for the 'W' mint mark releases from West Point (only 2 million minted) or the 'S' minted silver/clad proofs.

Similar coins

Standard Washington Quarters and State Quarters. Can be distinguished by the unique reverse imagery relating to the San Antonio Missions.

Care & preservation

Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid cleaning or polishing as it destroys numismatic value. Handle by the edges to prevent skin oils from causing toning or spots.
