The Virginia State Quarter honors the 400th Anniversary of the founding of Jamestown in 1607. It depicts the three sailing ships that brought the first settlers to Jamestown, Susan Constant, Godspeed and the Discovery. Virginia proved to be one of the most important colonies in Americas history. It was home to such visionary leaders as George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, the men who inspired political and military action in the fight for freedom. The Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights also all had their beginnings in Virginia.
