Minnesota State Quarter
Year of issue: 2005
Released on April 4, 2005, this is the 32nd coin released in the 50 State Quarters Program and the second released in 2005. Minnesota, admitted into the Union on May 11, 1858, themed the coin, Land of 10,000 Lakes. It highlights an image of a tree-lined lake with two people fishing, a loon on the water, and a textured outline of the state surrounding its nickname, Land of 10,000 Lakes.
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.
