The North Lighthouse is seen in the background. The inscriptions are “BLOCK ISLAND,” “RHODE ISLAND,” “2018,” and “E PLURIBUS UNUM.” The obverse (heads) features the 1932 portrait of George Washington by John Flanagan and the inscriptions “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “LIBERTY,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and “QUARTER DOLLAR.”

The special numismatic wrapping for the coin rolls displays the name “Block Island National Wildlife Refuge;” the abbreviation “RI” for Rhode Island; “$10,” the face value of its contents; and “P,” “D,” or “S” for the mint of origin. The canvas bags have a tag with “Block Island National Wildlife Refuge,” “RI,” and “P,” “D,” or “S.”
