Information about the commemorative Wyoming State Quarter.
You have come to the right place if you are looking for information about the Wyoming Quarter
from the 50 State Quarter Program. The Wyoming Quarter was issued by the United States Mint
to commemorate the state of Wyoming. For your convenience, you can see a picture of the
Wyoming Quarter on the right.
The Wyoming Quarter is the 44th quarter in the State Quarter Program. It was issued on September 4, 2007. It was the 44th State Quarter issued, because Wyoming was the 44th state to be admitted to the Union.
According to the US Mint, total Wyoming Quarter mintage for circulation was 564,400,000 coins. If you sort the State Quarters in ascending order by mintage, Wyoming would rank 23rd. (State Quarter mintage ranges from 446,600,000 to 1,594,616,000.)
Like all commemorative State Quarters, the obverse side of the Wyoming Quarter shows President Washington, but it is the reverse side of the coin we will focus on here.
The Wyoming Quarter coin was engraved by Norman E. Nemeth and has a great design. At the top of the coin, you will see the name Wyoming and just below it the year 1890, which is the year Wyoming became a state.
At the very bottom of the coin, it says "E Pluribus Unum" which means one out of many - Wyoming is one of the many 50 states. Above that, is the year the coin was issued, which in this case is 2007.
The actual design that was submitted by the state of Wyoming shows Bucking horse and rider.
The inscription reads "The Equality State".
The 50 quarters from this program were issued between 1999 and 2008. Both the
Philidelphia and the Denver Mint made the Wyoming circulated coins. The San Francisco Mint
was the only Mint that made the proof and silver proof Wyoming coins.
