Colorado State Quarter

The Colorado quarter depicts a sweeping view of the rugged Rocky Mountains and bears a banner with the inscription "Colorful Colorado." It also bears the inscriptions "Colorado" and "1876," the year Colorado became a state. Colorado, nicknamed the "Centennial State," was admitted into the Union on August 1, 1876, becoming our Nation's 38th state. The Colorado quarter is the 38th coin in the United States Mint's 50 State Quarters Program. 

The obverse (heads) design features the familiar image of George Washington by John Flanagan, used on the quarter since 1932.

The reverse (tails) design features the rugged Rocky Mountains, evergreen trees and a banner.
