The Illinois State Quarter

The Illinois state quarter coloring page shows an image of the quarter issued in 2003 that representes the state of Illinois.

Twenty-one stars surround the twenty-first state (Illinois) on the twenty-first quarter.

The Illinois quarter looks forward to the new century as it reminds us of how Abraham Lincoln must have looked forward to his new career in law from his job as a young rail-splitter. In the image, Lincoln is setting his farm tool aside and picking up his law book, the farm behind him and the city of Chicago ahead. He went on to become one of our greatest presidents.

This "Land of Lincoln" design speaks of both the history and the future of "The Prairie State."
