This is a 1996 San Francisco Mint proof Washington Quarter, issued as part of the United States Mint's commemorative series. The quarter, with a denomination of 25 cents, is composed of Copper-Nickel clad Copper and has a diameter of 24.3 mm and a weight of 5.67 grams. Produced in a limited mintage of 1,750,244 coins, this particular quarter features a pristine finish typical of proof coins, showcasing the exceptional craftsmanship and detail that the San Francisco Mint is renowned for. The design highlights George Washington on the obverse and a majestic eagle on the reverse, emblematic of American heritage and strength.

The coin is highly regarded for its numismatic value, especially in well-preserved condition. As a collectible item, it represents not just currency, but also a piece of American history and artistry.
