A historic sentry box from the walls of Old San Juan overlooks the Atlantic Ocean alongside a hibiscus flower, Puerto Rico’s official flower. The design includes the inscriptions “PUERTO RICO,” “ISLA DEL ENCANTO,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” and “2009,” reflecting the island’s rich history, culture, and scenic beauty.
Collectibility
The 2009-S Puerto Rico Proof Quarter was issued only in the 2009 District of Columbia & U.S. Territories Clad Proof Set and was never released into circulation. With a mintage of 2,113,478, it remains a popular addition to complete clad proof quarter collections and the final chapter of the State and Territorial Quarters series.
