The Washington Quarter was created to honor the 200th anniversary of the birth of George Washington, the first President of the United States. The design was first released into circulation on August 1st, 1932, and continued unchanged until the Bicentennial Quarter design in 1976. The obverse of the Washington Quarter features a bust of George Washington and the reverse features a bald eagle grasping several arrows in its claws above two olive branches, beneath the motto E PLURIBUS UNUM. 

This 1980 quarter features sharp relief and mirror-like backgrounds, giving it a frosted, sculpted foregrounds and a special cameo effect. Similar to coin shown.
