I am very fond of ships on coins.
I know that many people share this fondness. I have a few coins depicting ships.
So, I will post a series called "Ships on Coins" and I will show all the coins that I have on this theme.
There will be no order of presentation or country of issue. As the coins are stored in several places, I will simply search on each place and publish those that I found.
The twenty third is a 2000 $.25 "Virginia".
The Virginia Quarter was the tenth coin in the State Quarter series. It was released on October 16, 2000 and features three ships bringing settlers to Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement in America. The quarter is meant to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the settlement in 2007.
The coin was made of 90% silver and weights 6.3g with Proof finish. Its mintage was 965,421 units.
The obverse was designed by John Flanagan and William Cousins.
