Puerto Rico Territory Quarter: History & Background
The Puerto Rico quarter features a sentry box (garita) from the historic fortification of El Morro in Old San Juan, with a hibiscus flower, the island's official flower. El Morro, formally Castillo San Felipe del Morro, was built by the Spanish beginning in 1539 to guard San Juan Bay. The inscription 'Isla del Encanto' (Island of Enchantment) accompanies this tribute to Puerto Rico's heritage.
How to Grade a Puerto Rico Territory Quarter
Accurate grading is the single most important factor in determining a coin's value. A difference of just a few grade points can mean 10× or more in value. Examine the highest points of the design first — these are where wear appears earliest. For the finest grades, luster, strike quality, and surface preservation all matter. Professional grading by PCGS or NGC adds certainty and typically increases resale value. Read our complete grading guide →
