Georgia State Design

In other words, the person who has wisdom is very smart,has learned things from experience, and almost all of the time knows what's best in the world. Justice means the system of laws and judgment in a country that has fair behavior or treatment. Moderation means not too much, not too little. It means just the right amount of something. The state motto is to be wise, show justice, and not to do extreme things. This would make their government fair to all people, and the laws would represent everyone as strong but not too powerful. These three words are very important to the people of Georgia.

The Georgia quarter features a peach in the center of an outline map of the state. For a long time Georgia has been called "the Peach State" because many peaches are grown there. In 1995 the peach became the state fruit of Georgia. There are four types of peaches: non-melting peaches, flesh peaches, yellow and white fleshed peaches, and peento peaches.

There are also branches from Georgia's state tree, the Live Oak, on both sides of the peach. Live Oaks are shade trees found along the coast of the southern United States. They can be as high as 50 feet, and have wide spreading branches that can be as long as 70 feet wide. The branches are often covered with Spanish Moss. The trunk is short, and the bark is bumpy and reddish-brown. The long leaves are two to five inches long and feel leathery. It can resist damage from storms and even insects. Once, ship builders gutted out these trees and made ships out of them. The Live Oak was adopted as Georgia's state tree in 1937.

In 1999 the Georgia quarter was the fourth state quarter to be released, because Georgia was the fourth state to join the union. Members of the Georgia Council for the Arts designed the Georgia Quarter, and Governor Zell Miller made the final selection. Georgia was named after King George II. He became the King of England in 1727. In 1732, King George granted a charter (a right to have something) to start the colony. He wanted it to be a haven (a place of shelter and safety) for poor and unemployed people and for persecuted Protestants from Germany and Austria. There is a banner across the quarter that shows the state motto: "Wisdom, Justice, Moderation." Wisdom means knowledge, experience, and good judgment.
