Coins are tangible currency pieces issued by governments, often collected for their historical, artistic, or numismatic value. The 25-cent coin, commonly known as the quarter, features images representing significant figures or events from a nation's history. In the United States, Washington Quarters were first released in 1932 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of George Washington's birth. The 1947 Washington Quarter minted in Philadelphia is part of a series that includes variations from different mints and years, contributing to its collectibility and value in numismatic circles.
