This beautifully crafted collectible coin honors Mississippi, admitted into the Union on December 10, with the theme coin, stating, The Magnolia State. The quarter showcases the beauty and elegance of the state flower, combining the blossoms and leaves of two magnolias with the inscription "The Magnolia State."
The magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora), named for the French botanist Pierre Magnol, is strongly associated with the South where the flower became enormously popular after it was introduced from Asia. This association became strong enough that Mississippi adopted it as the state flower in 1952.
Great collector's item. Not many in circulation and a rare coin to find. Shipping available ONLY in the United States of America. Approximately $5 at Buyer's Cost.
