Overview

The reverse side features the Charter Oak, a historical white oak tree located in Hartford, Connecticut. It includes the inscriptions 'CONNECTICUT 1788', 'THE CHARTER OAK', '1999', and 'E PLURIBUS UNUM'.

Historical significance

This was the fifth coin released in the 50 State Quarters Program. The Charter Oak is a symbol of American independence, famously serving as a hiding place for the Connecticut Charter in 1687 to prevent its seizure by the British Governor-General.

Estimated value

Circulated: $0.25 (Face value); Uncirculated: $0.50 - $2.00; High-grade Mint State or Errors can be worth more.

Care & preservation

Store in a cool, dry place. Handle by the edges to avoid leaving fingerprints. Do not attempt to clean the coin with chemicals or abrasives as it can damage the surface and reduce collector value.
