Awers (głowy) przedstawia portret Jerzego Waszyngtona, pierwotnie skomponowany i wyrzeźbiony przez Laurę Gardin Fraser z okazji 200. urodzin Jerzego Waszyngtona. Zalecany projekt dla ćwierćdolarówki z 1932 roku, ówczesny sekretarz skarbu Mellon ostatecznie wybrał znany projekt Johna Flannigana.

Celia Cruz, często nazywana królową salsy, wnosiła do swoich występów żywiołowość, która wypełniała zarówno jej muzykę, jak i scenę. Urodziła się w Hawanie na Kubie w 1925 roku, gdzie zaczęła śpiewać i uczęszczała do akademii muzycznej pod koniec lat czterdziestych. W 1950 roku dołączyła do popularnej kubańskiej orkiestry La Sonora Matancera, a po przewrocie politycznym rewolucji kubańskiej wraz z większością członków orkiestry wyemigrowała z Kuby do Stanów Zjednoczonych, odbywając trasę koncertową w Meksyku. Popularność Cruz w Stanach Zjednoczonych pomogła zwrócić uwagę opinii publicznej na salsę, a ona sama rozkwitła pomimo tego, że należała do gatunku, w którym występowali głównie mężczyźni. Współpraca z Tito Puente, Johnnym Pacheco i Fania All Stars, między innymi, również pomogła zwiększyć jej publiczność i popularność muzyki latynoskiej w Stanach Zjednoczonych.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

The obverse (heads) depicts a portrait of George Washington, originally composed and sculpted by Laura Gardin Fraser to mark George Washington’s 200th birthday. A recommended design for the 1932 quarter, then-Treasury Secretary Mellon ultimately selected the familiar John Flannigan design.

 

Celia Cruz, often called the Queen of Salsa, brought a vivacity to her stage performances that filled her music as well as the stage. She was born in Havana, Cuba, in 1925, where she began singing and attended a music academy in the late 1940s. In 1950 she joined a popular Cuban orchestra, La Sonora Matancera, and following the political upheaval of the Cuban revolution she and most of the orchestra members emigrated& from Cuba to the United States by way of a performance tour in Mexico. Cruz's popularity in the United States helped bring salsa into the public eye, and she flourished despite being in a genre with primarily male artists. Collaborations with Tito Puente, Johnny Pacheco, and the Fania All Stars, among others, also helped to increase her audience and the popularity of Latino music in the United States.
