Owner Comments:

The artist that served as inspiration for William Cousins design, Eddy Seger, taught at art at Caesar Rodney High School in Camden, DE at the time of the contest to design the state's coin. When he learned that Delawareans were being asked to submit ideas for the new coin, he made it an art project. Of the 340 submissions to the Arts Council, 39 came from his students.

The ceremonial first strike of the new series took place at the Philadelphia Mint on Dec. 7, 1998, the anniversary of the state’s ratification of the Constitution.
