The New Jersey Quarter is the third quarter among the 50 States Commemorative Quarters released by the U.S. Mint. Above is the rear of the coin. According to the U.S. Mint's official website, this design is a rendering of George Washington crossing the Delaware River. The coin design is based on the 1851 painting by Emmanuel Leutze. It is a picture of Washington standing in his boat accompanied by members of the Colonial Army on the way to victories against the British at the battles of Trenton and Princeton. The original painting is hung in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Underneath the picture on the coin the words, "Crossroads of the Revolution" are printed. The Commemorative Coin Design Commission selected the design by unanimous vote.
