The image was created in 1932 by John Flanagan and has featured on the US quarter every year since 1932. The modern quarters have a modified design of this portrait, but it is still based on the 1932 Flanagan work.

Two olive branches are intertwined below the fasces and inscriptions read United States of America, Quarter Dollar, and E Pluribus Unum.

History

To mark the 200^th anniversary of Washingtons birth, Congress originally planned to put his bust on the half-dollar coin only in 1932 in place of the standard Walking Liberty design. Instead, Congress opted to retire the Standing Liberty design on the quarter and replace it permanently with a bust of George Washington. This design remains in circulation on the coins today, while the reverse eagle was used through 1998. The 1975-1976 coins had a drummer boy from the Continental Army on the reverse in honor of the nations 200^th birthday and the modern coins have State Quarter designs, but these issues are not part of the 90% silver era.
