The Arizona State Quarter is the 48th coin of the original 50 State Quarterstm Program of the U.S. Mint. The quarters were released in the order that states joined the union. Arizona became a U.S. State on Feb. 14, 1912, which makes the Arizona Quarter the third quarter released in the tenth (and final) year of the Program. (The Washington, D.C. and Territories Program is not part of the 50 State Quarterstm series.) The Arizona Quarter features a Saguaro Cactus in the foreground, with the Grand Canyon in the background, and a banner reading "Grand Canyon State" separating the two designs.
The date of admission to the union, 1912, appears below the state name at the top of the coin, and the year of issue curves along the bottom. The Arizona coin was designed by Artistic Infusion Program Master Designer Joel Iskowitz, and engraved by U.S. Mint Sculptor-Engraver Joseph Menna. The coin was officially released into circulation on June 2, 2008.
The citizens of Arizona have been looking forward to their coin with great anticipation for years now. The Arizona Quarter Commission was first formed back in 2005 to begin receiving public input regarding the designs and key elements that should appear on the Arizona Quarter. The 24-member commission met in public 12 times between November 2005 and July 2006 to consider input from the public, and extensive outreach efforts were made to civic and citizen's groups such as Native American tribal groups, Boy Scouts, numerous clubs and schools, and through the media to the general public. The goal was to reach as much of a general consensus as possible about the designs and message that would appear on the Arizona State Quarter. | |
