2008 42¢ Flags of Our Nation
This Flags of Our Nation Coin Cover features the Georgia stamp from the Flags of Our Nation Series, two uncirculated state quarters, and a cachet, or picture, that reflects the history of the state.
Confederate troops fought many bloody battles in Georgia in the War Between the States. One of Georgia’s first state flags was the secession flag of 1860. The current state flag was adopted in 2003 and is based on the Confederate “States and Bars.” The state seal, appearing on both Georgia’s flag and state quarter, is inscribed with their motto, “Wisdom, Justice, Moderation.”
The Georgia state quarter, issued in 1999, illustrates the peach, the official state fruit. Peaches were first brought to America by Spanish explorers, and by the 1700s, the sweet, juicy fruit was a popular crop. The “Peach State” earned its nickname in the decades after the Civil War. Without slaves to tend cotton, farmers looked for less labor-intensive crops. Peaches proved to be a profitable alternative.
The woodcut art on the face of this envelope shows the business center of Atlanta during the 1880s. The city began as a small settlement called “Terminus,” the site for a railroad terminal. It was renamed and incorporated as Atlanta in 1847. During the Civil War, General William Tecumseh Sherman burned Atlanta and marched through Georgia, leaving devastation behind. Following the war, determined Atlantans rebuilt, and waves of hopeful settlers relocated to the “New South.” Today, Atlanta has a population of over half a million people.
