This is a United States quarter dollar coin, featuring the profile of George Washington on the obverse and a bald eagle on the reverse. Minted from copper-nickel clad, it has a reeded edge and a standard diameter of 24.26 mm, weighing 5.67 grams. The design, created by John Flanagan, has been in continuous use since 1932.
History
The quarter dollar, initially introduced in 1796, underwent a significant design change in 1932 to commemorate the bicentennial of George Washington's birth. John Flanagan's portrait of Washington on the obverse and his heraldic eagle on the reverse have remained the standard for this denomination. These coins are a common piece of American currency.
Facts
The iconic Washington quarter is one of the most recognizable coins in the United States. The eagle on the reverse is a powerful symbol of American identity and freedom. Many collectors focus on variations in mint marks and specific design elements, such as the 'State Quarters' series.
Value Fact
As a standard circulation coin, the value of a Washington quarter is primarily its face value unless it possesses significant mint errors, exceptional condition (high grade), or belongs to a specific collectible series. Common examples typically trade at or slightly above twenty-five cents.
