Release date of Delaware State Quarter:
January 04, 1999. The Delaware quarter, depicting the historic
horseback ride of Caesar Rodney, galloped onto the scene as it kicked
off the much anticipated United States Mint's 50 State Quarters®
Program.
Through an Executive Order issued by Delaware Governor Thomas R. Carper
on February 2, 1998, state residents were encouraged to submit quarter
design concepts to the Delaware Arts Council. The Council received over
300 submissions. With the governor's approval, the Council forwarded
several concepts to the United States Mint for review and execution of
drawings. From there, three selected designs were reviewed and approved
by the Citizens Commemorative Coin Advisory Committee, the Fine Arts
Commission, and the Secretary of the Treasury.
