Wisconsin Quarter

The U.S. Mint's bicentennial commemorative quarter for Wisconsin features the state motto (which is simply the word "Forward") and agricultural symbols of Wisconsin: a dairy cow (the state domestic animal), a round of cheese (milk is the state beverage), and an ear of corn (the state grain). Wisconsin became the 30th state in 1848 (public domain image on Wikipedia). All State Quarters
