This year, the four states being honored are Arkansas, Michigan, Florida, and Texas.
An image of a NASA Space Shuttle during liftoff from Launch Complex 39 at the Kennedy Space Center is the focus of the reverse design. Smoke from the solid rocket boosters is seen filling the lower edges of the coin with stars featured in the background. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and FLORIDA are inscribed. The design was created by Artistic Infusion Program (AIP) designer Ron Sanders and sculpted by Mint Medallic Artist Eric David Custer.
A dramatic representation of the Statue of Liberty is seen on the obverse, remaining the constant design throughout the series. “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and “$1” are inscribed in addition to a stylized gear privy mark representing industry and innovation. Mintage year, mint mark and “E PLURIBUS UNUM” are incused on the edge of the coins.
