The obverse of the 2009 Commonwealth of Puerto Rico quarters shows the traditional Washington quarter obverse that has been in use since the series was introduced in 1932. The target area for doubled dies on this design is the area around the bottom of Washington's ear. The reverse of the 2009 Puerto Rico quarters features a sentry box and a hibiscus flower. The target area for doubled dies on this design would be the right side of the sentry box and the left most leaves of the hibiscus flower. While the entire obverse and reverse should be examined carefully for doubling, the target area is where you are most likely going to find the doubled die doubling.
