It is supposed to depict Galveston Island. It is not an error.
This is the only one that has the island
In checking other photos of the Texas coin I find that you are right, they don't show the "island".
You may want to contact the people who publish the Cherrypicker books. It may prove to worth promoting as it could be called the Galveston Island variety.
Hawaii has a few, I think! As does Guam (does that count?) lol.

Presumably a die chip, then.
More photos
yes, riverse ?
is an error

@Benito
The placement of the die chip (possible) is pretty cool. It does look like an island. Keeper.
Below is from CoinFacts for comparison
That's actually close to the real Galveston Is -- oh the irony! Nice find!
You need to find another identical coin. A die chip would not be considered a variety. Yes an error, but a minor one.
Ike Specialist
Finest Toned Ike I've Ever Seen, been looking since 1986
Won’t be easy to find
If it were easy then there would be minimal value to the endeavor.
I am new at searching how to look for other ones besides coin searching tanks
It appears to be a die chip..... a very coincidental placement though. I would keep that one - and search for others. Get some rolls of Texas quarters... Cheers, RickO
Though die chips are relatively common, and not worth much at all, the size and placement of this one could make it a 'desirable' one to quite a few as the 'Galveston Island' variety. I'd consider it a keeper and would try to find another to validate it. Looks like a nice find to me.
As a stand alone "error" it is neat but not very valuable, I assume. BUT...if you can hype it as the "Galveston Island variety:" it might catch on and they would be worth a premium.
The any one has one like that
Acetone soak and poke it with a stick then let us know if anything happened or not.
"To validate it" ?? A die chip is a die chip, if it is a die chip. Finding another would be nice and beneficial to try to garner interst but isn't needed for validation of whether its a die chip.
Could it be a gas bubble? Or maybe Gilligan's island?

I think it's neat and would love to have one to show at our next coin club meeting. Then again, I'm in Texas, and we go nuts over stuff like this! LOL
Edited to add ... @Benito ... any chance you could post a nice, high resolution image of the full reverse?
See http://www.doubledimes.com for a free online reference for US twenty-cent pieces
I only have a I phone for the photos see moré I will send to validate after the holidays photos don’t do justice looks like belongs as part of design
Now Im going to have to pull out my albums and folders to look at the quarter
Would these be like the Minnesota quarters?
Just look in Ebay found photo of uncirculated just like the one I have I ordered 10 hopefully all get quarters machine the photo will get it in 15 days we’ll let you all no
Looks like you are going all in on this research. Let us know your findings.
I got the Texas quarters from Ebay don’t mach the photo on the site doesn’t have the Galveston island so back to square one
Good luck on the hunt.
Still looking for second one 2004 Texas with Galveston island
Twenty-five centavos in current money of the USA. No premium whatsoever.
Very cool error- would be a cool variety as discussed above. Either way I love it.
Thanks for sharing!
Additional photos still want a second one
It's Atlantis! It did not sink.

No luck with second one.yet but still looking
I know the last time this was commented on was February of 2019, but I just want to inform that I have one that looks exactly like the one seen in the picture! Same placement, same size, and same mint mark!
