Wisconsin State Quarter
Information about the commemorative Wisconsin State Quarter.
You have come to the right place if you are looking for information about the Wisconsin Quarter
from the 50 State Quarter Program. The Wisconsin Quarter was issued by the United States Mint
to commemorate the state of Wisconsin. For your convenience, you can see a picture of the
Wisconsin Quarter on the right.
The Wisconsin Quarter is the 30th quarter in the State Quarter Program. It was issued on October 25, 2004. It was the 30th State Quarter issued, because Wisconsin was the 30th state to be admitted to the Union.
According to the US Mint, total Wisconsin Quarter mintage for circulation was 453,200,000 coins. If you sort the State Quarters in ascending order by mintage, Wisconsin would rank 4th. (State Quarter mintage ranges from 446,600,000 to 1,594,616,000.)
Like all commemorative State Quarters, the obverse side of the Wisconsin Quarter shows President Washington, but it is the reverse side of the coin we will focus on here.
The Wisconsin Quarter coin was engraved by Alfred Maletsky and has a great design. At the top of the coin, you will see the name Wisconsin and just below it the year 1848, which is the year Wisconsin became a state.
At the very bottom of the coin, it says "E Pluribus Unum" which means one out of many - Wisconsin is one of the many 50 states. Above that, is the year the coin was issued, which in this case is 2004.
The actual design that was submitted by the state of Wisconsin shows Head of a cow, round of cheese and ear of corn.
The banner text reads "Forward".
The 50 quarters from this program were issued between 1999 and 2008. Both the
Philidelphia and the Denver Mint made the Wisconsin circulated coins. The San Francisco Mint
was the only Mint that made the proof and silver proof Wisconsin coins.
The Wisconsin coin weights 5.67 grams, its diameter is 24.26 mm (0.955 inches),
and its thickness is 1.75 mm (0.069 inches). Furthermore, the Wisconsin coin is made of 91.67% copper
and 8.33% Nickel. The Wisconsin silver proof coins were made with 90% silver and 10% copper.
