Overview

The obverse features the profile of George Washington facing left, with the words 'United States of America' and 'Quarter Dollar' visible around the perimeter.

Historical significance

The Washington quarter was first issued in 1932 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of George Washington's birth. It replaced the Standing Liberty quarter and has become one of the most recognizable icons of American currency.

Estimated value

Face value ($0.25) if it is a common circulation issue; potentially more if a rare error or specific high-grade year.

Care & preservation

Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid cleaning with abrasive chemicals or cloths, as this can damage the coin's surface and reduce numismatic value. Handle by the edges to avoid leaving fingerprints.
