But how many of those states’ quarters have an image of George Washington on BOTH sides?
Answer:
Two.
New Jersey’s quarter has a design based on the famous painting by Leutze, “Washington Crossing the Delaware,” while South Dakota’s quarter has, among other icons, the Mount Rushmore National Monument on its reverse – and, of course, George Washington is one of the 4 presidents honored on that monument.
