The
Delaware Quarter is the first of the 50 States Commemorative Quarters
released by the U.S. Mint. To the left is the image placed on the back
of the coin. According to the U.S. Mint's official website, the final
design selection, depicting Caesar Rodney on horseback, received 948 of
the 1,519 total votes. Caesar Rodney is honored for his historic ride
to break the tie among Delaware's delegates in favor of the Declaration
of Independence. The Delaware choice for their quarter coin design was
made public on Friday, June 12, 1998, at a press briefing held in Dover,
Delaware.
