Washington Quarter

The obverse features a portrait of George Washington, the first U.S. President, facing left. The word "LIBERTY" is inscribed above his head, "IN GOD WE TRUST" to his left, and the year "2021" below.

The Washington Quarter was first minted in 1932 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of George Washington's birth. While the reverse design changes frequently for various series (like the 50 State Quarters or American Women Quarters), the obverse with Washington's portrait has remained largely consistent. Coins from 2021 are part of the 'Washington Crossing the Delaware' design on the reverse, which depicts George Washington leading his troops across the Delaware River prior to the Battle of Trenton during the American Revolutionary War. This design briefly replaced the America the Beautiful Quarters Program as a transitional one before the American Women Quarters Program began later in 2022.

Circulated 2021 Washington Quarters typically have a face value of 25 cents. Uncirculated examples or those with specific mint marks (e.g., 'W' for West Point) might fetch slightly more among collectors, ranging from a few dollars to tens of dollars depending on condition and rarity.

To preserve the coin's condition, handle it by the edges to avoid transferring oils from your skin. Store it in a cool, dry place, ideally in an inert, non-PVC holder or album designed for coin storage. Avoid cleaning the coin, as this can devalue it by damaging its surface and original luster.
