Nevada State Quarter

Nevada is home to most of the Nation's wild horses, and they are mentioned in the journals of settlers dating back nearly 200 years. Below the horses on the coin is a banner reading "The Silver State," Nevada's nickname.

On October 31, 1864, Nevada became the 36th state to be admitted into the Union, and the Nevada quarter is the 36th coin in the 50 State Quarters Program. Wild horses on the run, sagebrush and the sun rising behind snow–capped mountains grace the Nevada quarter, which Nevada themed Silver State. 

Carson City is one of the few United States cities with the distinction of once having an operating branch of the United States Mint. The Carson City Mint at 603 North Carson Street operated from 1870 to 1893 at the peak of Nevada's silver mining boom.

The Carson City Mint, with a mint mark of "CC," issued Double Eagles, Half Eagles, Trade Dollars and other interesting coins when in operation. From 1895 to 1933, the building served as the United States Assay Office for gold and silver. The building was sold to the State of Nevada in 1939.

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 a trio of wild stallions, snow capped mountains and the sun.
