Quarter Dollar 2021 Washington Crossing the Delaware, Coin from United States - detailed information

The Quarter Dollar is a United States coin worth 25 cents. It has been produced on and off since 1796 and consistently since 1831.

From its inception until 1964, the denomination was issued in silver; it underwent several design changes, including finally the silver Washington quarter (1932 - 1964) featuring the first President of the United States on the obverse and the American Eagle clutching a bunch of arrows on the reverse. Initially meant as a one-year design to commemorate 200 years since the birth of George Washington in 1932, the obverse became the definitive design for the denomination and has been used ever since. The reverse was issued in this form until 1998, after which time the series of "State Quarters" circulating commemoratives started being issued instead.

From time to time, the U.S. Mint also issues into circulation commemorative coins which are not part of a large series, such as this one.

After a long break during which it was issuing U.S. State quarters, DC and Territories quarters and America the Beautiful quarters, the U.S. Mint released another Washington Quarter on 5 April 2021, showing the general crossing the Delaware River on the night of 25 December 1776.

The obverse reverted to Flanagan's original design, with the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA legend and the denomination returned to the reverse. The design was issued until the end of the year, after which time the mint started the American Women Quarters series.

Washington quarter dollars issued in 2021 have now been in circulation for only four years.
