Arkansas State Quarter
Year of issue: 2003
Released on October 20, 2003, this is the 25th coin released in the 50 State Quarters Program and the fifth released in 2003. Arkansas, admitted into the Union on June 15, 1836, themed the coin, Natural State. It highlights an image of rice stalks, a diamond and a mallard gracefully flying above a lake.
The obverse (heads) design shows the familiar portrait of George Washington used on the quarter since 1932. But the inscriptions previously used on the reverse – "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA", "QUARTER DOLLAR", "LIBERTY", and "IN GOD WE TRUST" – all appear on the obverse in order to accommodate the state designs.
