My Virginia License Plates from 1990-

Virginia plates in the 1990s continued the same style as those of the 80s. Pictured below is an optional, extra-cost issue from 1991 featuring the Great Seal of Virginia in the center. These plates were issued beginning at #500-001, where the Bicentennial series had left off.

After exhausting all combinations of the AAA-000 series, Virginia started issuing the ZZZ-1234 series. They started the series at ZZZ and worked their way backwards. Somewhere in the ZXX series, the state name changed from the mixed-case style of the 1980s to the all-capitals style of today.
