Adorning its obverse is the profile of George Washington, while its reverse design has undergone frequent changes since 1998.

The reverse depicted an eagle with wings outspread perches on a bundle of arrows framed below by two olive branches.

The America the Beautiful quarters program began in 2010 and ended in 2021, lasting 11 years and depicting a natural or historic site for each state and territory.

In October 2019, the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC) met to consider designs, with the final choice made by Mnuchin.

From 2022 to 2025, the Mint may produce up to five coins each year featuring prominent American women, with a new obverse design of Washington.

No known examples of quarters were made in 1933, San Francisco abstained in 1934 and 1949, and stopped after 1955, until it resumed in 1968 by way of making proofs.

The current rarities for the Washington quarter "silver series" are: Branch mintmarks are D = Denver, S = San Francisco.

This is not due to their mintages, but rather because they are harder to find in high grades (a situation referred to as "condition rarity").

Other coins in the above list are expensive because of their extremely low mintages, such as the 1932 Denver and San Francisco issues.

The overstruck mintmark issues are also scarce and expensive, especially in the higher grades; even so they may not have the same popularity as overdates found in pre-Washington quarter series.

The copper-nickel clad Washington quarter was first issued in 1965 and as part of the switch, the Denver mintmark was added in 1968, which did not reappear on any US coin denomination until 1968.

The mint mark on the coin is currently located on the obverse at the bottom right hemisphere under the supposed date.

These coins were not included in the 2012 or later uncirculated sets or the three-coin ATB quarter sets (which consisted of an uncirculated "P" and "D" and proof "S" specimen) and no "S" mint-marked quarters are being released into circulation, so that mintages will be determined solely by direct demand for the "S" mint-marked coins.
