Texas State Design

The Texas quarter was the 28th state quarter to be released by the U.S. Mint. Texas became a state on December 29, 1845, and the Texas quarter was the third one to be released in the year 2004. The design of the quarter was chosen by Governor Rick Perry after a design contest in Texas. Along the edge of the state quarter of Texas you will see a rope to show the cattle and cowboy history. You will also see the outline of the state of Texas to show the shape of the state. You will also see an enlarged star shape, which is also on the state flag. You will also see the state’s nickname written on the quarter: The Lone Star State. This means that all through the history of Texas their flag has always had a single star on it.
