The Washington Quarter was first minted in 1932, and has remained in circulation ever since. Of course, the biggest difference between coins minted between 1932 and 1964 and coins minted nowadays is the fact that they used to be minted with 90 percent fine silver.

Background

In 2021, the U.S. Mint began minting and issuing quarters with a reverse design depicting General George Washington crossing the Delaware River prior to the Battle of Trenton during the American Revolutionary War. On December 25, 1776, General George Washington, along with 2,400 troops and artillery, began his historic crossing of the Delaware River in preparation for a surprise attack on British and Hessian soldiers.

In accordance with the authorizing legislation, the obverse of the quarter will revert to renowned designer John Flanagan’s design featuring President Washington that appeared on the coin before the 50 State Quarters Program.

The most recent of the United States Quarter has been the George Washington. This coin was first minted in 1932, and has enjoyed a uninterrupted run from then until today. There have been small variations up unto 1999, and just one year of non-minatage in 1975. 1957 Washington Quarter FS-901 TYPE B PROOF REVERSE HUB MS 65 ANACS BU WHITE! 5 out of 5 stars (1) 1 product ratings - 1957 Washington Quarter FS-901 TYPE B PROOF REVERSE HUB MS 65 ANACS BU WHITE!

Characteristics

The obverse (heads) features the familiar image of George Washington by John Flanagan, used on the quarter since 1932. The style of the design and the inscriptions return to how they appeared on the quarter before the 50 State Quarters Program began in 1999.
The reverse (tails) depicts General George Washington commanding his troops through the overnight crossing of the ice-choked Delaware River prior to the Battle of Trenton during the American Revolutionary War.
