Owner Comments:
The third commemorative quarter-dollar coin released in 2008 honors Arizona, and is the 48th coin in the U.S. Mint's 50 State Quarters Program. Arizona was admitted to the Union on February 14, 1912, becoming the Nation's 48th state, and the last in the continental United States. The Arizona quarter features an image of the Grand Canyon with Saguaro cactus in the foreground. A banner reading "Grand Canyon State" separates the two images to signify that the Saguaro cactus does not grow in the Grand Canyon. The coin also bears the inscriptions "Arizona" and "1912." The Department of the Treasury approved the design on May 25, 2007.
