The US 1943 Quarter, designed by John Flanagan, features George Washington’s profile and was struck in 90% silver. Issued during World War II, the US 1943 Quarter reflected economic stability despite wartime metal shortages affecting other coins. Silver remained in use due to its reliability and value in circulation.
Politically, the US 1943 Quarter symbolized national unity as the war effort intensified. The coin’s silver content linked it to broader economic policies, including war bonds and resource conservation. Flanagan’s classical design reinforced patriotic sentiment, making the US 1943 Quarter a key piece of wartime American coinage.
