Virginia State Quarter

Released on October 16, 2000, this is the 10th coin released in the 50 State Quarters Program and the fifth released in 2000. Virginia was admitted into the Union on June 25, 1788 but this coin honors some of Virginia's earliest settlers. It recognizes the 400th anniversary of Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement in North America. The design featured images of Susan Constant, Godspeed, and Discovery, the three ships that brought the first English settlers to Jamestown. 

The obverse (heads) design features the familiar image of George Washington by John Flanagan, used on the quarter since 1932.

The reverse (tails) design shows the three ships that carried settlers to Jamestown. Jamestown 1607-2007 and Quadricentennial are inscribed to honor the 400th anniversary of Jamestown.
