Five of these unique coins were released over the course of each year, every one representing a different state. The order of their release was determined by when that state became an official part of the USA. The obverse of the coins features the standard imagery of 25-cent pieces – a profile portrait of George Washington – but the reverse features an array of images and symbols representing the history and culture of that particular state. The reverse also features the year that the coin was cast and the year of the state’s official founding.

Georgia became a state on January 2nd, 1788, and was the fourth of the 50 State Quarters to be issued. Three distinct images are present on the coin: the peach has long been associated with Georgia and appears in the center; surrounding the peach is an outline of the state’s border; and the branches framing the first two images represent Live Oak, the state’s official tree.
