The front of every 2027 quarter

All five coins, and all 20 Youth Sports Quarters through 2030, share one new portrait of George Washington: GW-01, which shows him in civilian attire at a three-quarter angle with his head lifted. It was the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee's choice; the Commission of Fine Arts had preferred a portrait of Washington in uniform. More on the obverse.

Which 2027 quarter designs were chosen

The U.S. Mint prepared 47 candidate reverse designs for the five sports. Two federal panels reviewed them in February 2026 and each recommended one per sport. The Treasury Secretary made the final choices, and the Mint published them on 26 October 2026. The Mint's announcement does not give the design codes; this site matched each finished design to its candidate line art in the panels' public portfolios.

Sport	Final design	CCAC pick (score)	CFA pick	Whose pick won	Candidates
Baseball	BASE-01	BASE-01 (22 of 33)	#1	Both panels	8
Golf	GOLF-07	GOLF-07 (15 of 33)	#4	CCAC	11
Soccer	SOCC-01	SOCC-07 (28 of 33)	#1	CFA	9
Softball	SOFT-04A	SOFT-04A (21 of 33)	#4	CCAC	10
Snowboarding	SNOW-03	SNOW-03 (20 of 33)	#3	Both panels	9

On a phone the table scrolls sideways. CCAC scores are out of 33. CFA picks are the numbers the Commission used in its letter.

How the panels fared

Baseball and snowboarding: both panels chose the same design, and that design is on the coin.
Golf: the CCAC's GOLF-07, a single golfer over a dimpled golf ball, beat the CFA's three-figure design. GOLF-07 had won the CCAC's vote 6 to 5 after a tie on points.
Soccer: the one sport where the CFA's pick won. SOCC-01, a player celebrating beside a huge ball, was chosen over SOCC-07, which had drawn 28 of 33 points at the CCAC, the best score of the review. The number 47 that the CFA asked for on the jersey does not appear in the Mint's image.
Softball: the coin is SOFT-04A, the CCAC's pick, with the date set into home plate. The CFA had asked for the plate to be removed.

Counting the Washington portrait, the CCAC's recommendation was used for five of the six designs on the 2027 quarters. The two panels were advisers only; the law leaves the decision to the Treasury Secretary.

How the designs were reviewed

The Commission of Fine Arts saw the candidates on 19 February 2026 and the CCAC on 24 February 2026, both by videoconference. The CCAC scores every candidate: each of its eleven members gives a design 0, 1, 2 or 3 points, so 33 is the maximum, and the committee then votes on motions. Its members debated whether each design showed the sport's movement accurately, and spent time on the child's golf swing in particular. The CFA does not score. It names one design per sport and explains its reasons in a letter to the Mint Director.

What happens next

The designs are settled. Still to come from the U.S. Mint: a release date for each coin, the order the five come out, mintages, and products beyond the 2027 Proof Set, which already lists the 2027 Youth Sports Quarters. The release dates page tracks each announcement, and the list of all 20 sports shows what follows in 2028, 2029 and 2030.
