2005 California State Quarter
Coins of America Coin Holder
This coin holder is the 31st in the publisher's series for the 50 State Quarters
collection. It includes two Quarters, minted in Philadelphia and Denver. Both
quarters provided are uncirculated.
Five interior panels provide facts about "the Golden State," including the
state's history, economy, and unique and diverse geography.
One paragraph addresses Muir himself, to explain: "Naturalist and writer John
Muir is considered by many to be the father of America's conservation movement.
His writings helped inspire the creation of our National Park system, and he
founded the Sierra Club. the California State Quarter honors the man voted "The
Greatest Californian" in 1976. He stands before Half Dome in Yosemite
National Park, with a California condor
soaring overhead."
