If you’re looking for the perfect keepsake-reminder of your visit to Yosemite then the Yosemite Association has the perfect thing for you, two California state quarters in a collectors edition package.
Yosemite Association:This beautiful Yosemite keepsake consists of two uncirculated 2005 California quarters presented in a colorful tri-fold holder that includes interesting facts and Yosemite paintings by Chris Jorgensen.
Commemorating California’s entry into the U.S. on September 9, 1850, the quarter features images of John Muir, Yosemite’s Half Dome, and the California Condor. The design was intended to represent California’s wildlife, its majestic landscape, and the state’s commitment to preserving the Golden State for future generations.
The package includes quarters from both the Denver and Philadelphia Mints, and because only gloved hands handled the coins, the new quarters are in shiny, uncirculated condition. The mint marks are located under the words ‘In God We Trust.’
The obverse of the quarters continues to display the familiar image of George Washington. To accommodate state designs on the reverse, the words ‘United States of America,’ ‘Quarter Dollar,’ ‘Liberty,’ and ‘In God We Trust’ have been moved to the obverse.
