Program Information: Prior to the Spanish-American War, Puerto Rico was an overseas province of Spain. It was ceded to the United States under the Treaty of Paris of 1898. The residents of Puerto Rico became American citizens in 1917. The United States Congress passed a law on July 3, 1950, authorizing Puerto Rico to draft its own constitution. It officially became a United States commonwealth on July 25, 1952.
The Puerto Rico quarter reverse features a historic sentry box and a hibiscus flower with the inscriptions, PUERTO RICO and Isla del Encanto, which means “Isle of Enchantment,” while the obverse continues to feature a familiar image of President George Washington.
