According to the
U.S. Mint's official website, The North Dakota quarter depicts a pair
of grazing American bison in the foreground with a sunset view of the
rugged buttes and canyons that help define the State's Badlands region
in the background. The coin's design also bears the inscriptions "North
Dakota" and "1889." The North Dakota
Quarter Design Selection Process was launched by Governor John Hoeven
on April 14, 2004, when the State's nine-member commission was announced.
Chaired by Lieutenant Governor Jack Dalrymple, the commission invited
North Dakotans of all ages to submit narratives of 50 words or less. After
reviewing thousands of suggestions, the commission recommended three narratives
for design development: Agriculture, Landscape and Badlands. Candidate
designs were developed by the sculptor-engravers of the United States
Mint and artists in the United States Mint's Artistic Infusion Program
and returned to North Dakota. On June 3, 2005, Governor Hoeven recommended
the "Badlands with Bison" design for the North Dakota commemorative
quarter-dollar. We have available State Quarters and Coin Packages for Beginner and Advanced Collectors! See our Selections!
