Florida State Quarter

The Florida quarter is the the 27th quarter in the United States Mint's 50 State Quarters Program. On March 3, 1845, Florida became the 27th state to be admitted into the Union. The dates 1845 and 2004 are both on the reverse of the Florida quarter.

Florida, home to the Kennedy Space Center, has been the starting point for the modern era's most significant scientific space expeditions — from Man's first moon landing to the Voyager probe currently exploring deep space outside our solar system. From 16th century Spanish galleons to 21st century space exploration, Florida has been the stage for humanity's quest for knowledge and discovery.

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 16th-century Spanish galleon, an image of a space shuttle, and a strip of land with Sabal palm trees.
