Missouri State Quarter
Year of issue: 2003
Released on August 4, 2003, this is the 24th coin released in the 50 State Quarters Program and the fourth released in 2003. Missouri, admitted into the Union on August 10, 1821, themed the coin, Corps of Discovery. It highlights Lewis and Clark's historic return to St. Louis down the Missouri River, with the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial Gateway Arch in the the background.
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.
