Vermont State Quarter
Information about the commemorative Vermont State Quarter.
You have come to the right place if you are looking for information about the Vermont Quarter
from the 50 State Quarter Program. The Vermont Quarter was issued by the United States Mint
to commemorate the state of Vermont. For your convenience, you can see a picture of the
Vermont Quarter on the right.
The Vermont Quarter is the 14th quarter in the State Quarter Program. It was issued on August 6, 2001. It was the 14th State Quarter issued, because Vermont was the 14th state to be admitted to the Union.
According to the US Mint, total Vermont Quarter mintage for circulation was 882,804,000 coins. If you sort the State Quarters in ascending order by mintage, Vermont would rank 41st. (State Quarter mintage ranges from 446,600,000 to 1,594,616,000.)
Like all commemorative State Quarters, the obverse side of the Vermont Quarter shows President Washington, but it is the reverse side of the coin we will focus on here.
The Vermont Quarter coin was engraved by T. James Ferrell and has a great design. At the top of the coin, you will see the name Vermont and just below it the year 1791, which is the year Vermont became a state.
At the very bottom of the coin, it says "E Pluribus Unum" which means one out of many - Vermont is one of the many 50 states. Above that, is the year the coin was issued, which in this case is 2001.
The actual design that was submitted by the state of Vermont shows Maple trees with sap buckets and Camel's Hump Mountain.
The inscription reads "Freedom and Unity".
The 50 quarters from this program were issued between 1999 and 2008. Both the
Philidelphia and the Denver Mint made the Vermont circulated coins. The San Francisco Mint
was the only Mint that made the proof and silver proof Vermont coins.
The Vermont coin weights 5.67 grams, its diameter is 24.26 mm (0.955 inches),
