Texas State Quarter
Year of issue: 2004
Released on June 1, 2004, this coin is the 28th released in the 50 State Quarters Program and the third released in 2004. Texas, admitted into the Union on December 29, 1845, themed the coin the Lone Star State. It highlights an outline of the State with a star superimposed on the outline and the inscription, The Lone Star State. The lariat that encircles the design is symbolic of the cattle and cowboy history of Texas as well as the frontier spirit that tamed the land.
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.
