Tennessee State Quarter

Year of issue: 2002

Released on January 2, 2002, this is the 16th coin released in the 50 State Quarters Program and the first released in 2002. Tennessee, admitted into the Union on June 1, 1796, highlighted the image of several musical instruments, the fiddle, the trumpet, and the guitar.

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.
