West Virginia State Quarter

Year of issue: 2005

Released on October 14, 2005, this is the 35th coin released in the 50 State Quarters Program and the fifthr released in 2005. West Virginia, admitted into the Union on June 20, 1863, featured the scenic beauty of the New River and the New River Gorge Bridge.

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.
