About this Product

Full Product Name

The Wisconsin State Quarter is the fifth and final State Quarter of the year 2004. It also brings to an end the 6th year in the planned ten-year collection that will eventually feature all 50 states. Wisconsin was the 30th state, so this coin is the 30th overall in this collection. Wisconsin is now renowned as the Dairy Capital of the World, so it is appropriate for the Wisconsin State Quarter to feature the head of a cow and a round of cheese. The coin design also shows an ear of corn to symbolize the fact that Wisconsin is a leading corn producer. The design is completed with the state motto, Forward, which was officially adopted in 1851.

In December 1997, America's most adventurous coin program became a reality when President Clinton signed legislation authorizing the U.S. Mint to issue the innovative 50 State Quarters collection. Starting in January 1999, each of the 50 states in the Union will be honored on a unique Quarter Dollar commemorative coin. Five states will be featured each year, based on the order in which they ratified the Constitution or became states. Due to the aggressive minting schedule, each State Quarter will be minted for only about 10 weeks. As a result, mintages of each quarter only are to be just a fraction of the "normal" quarters are. Regular issue coins will be minted at both the Philadelphia and the Denver Mints. The mint marks can be found to the right of George Washington's portrait on the obverse: the small "P" indicates the Philadelphia Mint and the small "D" refers to the Denver.
