2005 / State Quarter Gem Proof / Minnesota

The 50 States Quarters Program featured each of the US States on unique designs from 1999 to 2008. The 50 State Quarters were released by the United States Mint every ten weeks in the same order that the states ratified the constitution and were admitted to the Union. Each quarter commemorates one of the 50 states with a unique design based on its history, traditions and symbols.

The Minnesota Quarter was the thirty second coin in the State Quarter series. It was released on April 4, 2005 and features two people fishing on a lake against an outline of the state. Minnesota is known as the “Land of 10,000 Lakes.”
