Two-Toned 1999 State Quarters

Set of 5 1999 state quarters from Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania have a special twist. All five of your quarters feature a neat two-tone effect, so you’ll see their intricate designs in special detail.  

The big tree on the Connecticut quarter references the “Charter Oak.” When representatives of England’s King James II demanded the new state’s Charter (similar to a constitution), it was hidden inside the trunk of a great oak tree to keep it safe – the same tree seen on the quarter.

Delaware’s state quarter shows Caesar Rodney, a representative to the Second Continental Congress. He rode 80 miles in one night to cast the deciding vote in support of the Declaration of Independence.

Georgia’s state quarter features a Georgia peach. The state motto hangs from the branches of a Live Oak, the official state tree. 

The New Jersey quarter pictures George Washington crossing the Delaware River to attack Trenton, N.J.

You can see the statue “Commonwealth” on the Pennsylvania State Quarter.
