George Washington Commemorative Coin
When the fire of revolution ignited in the colonies, George Washington was chosen as Commander-in-Chief of the colonial forces during the American Revolution. History tells of his strength and leadership as beleaguered colonial troops battled against the mighty British armies. Where others might have given up, Washington fought on. After accepting the British surrender that ended the Revolutionary War, Washington retired from public life. In 1787, Washington reluctantly agreed to come out of retirement to attend the Constitutional Convention and was unanimously elected its president. The historic result of the Convention was the crafting of the U.S. Constitution. But the nation wasn't done with this great man. In 1789, he was unanimously elected as the first President of the United States of America. Called "The Father of Our Country," Washington led the nation with honor, pride and dignity. His profound achievements and devoted service built the foundation of a powerful nation and have served as a role model for every President since.
