Michigan was admitted into the Union on January 26, 1837 becoming our Nation’s 26th State. The Michigan quarter depicts the outline of the State and the Great Lakes system.
The quarter's design emphasizes the history of Michigan and the Great Lakes - Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie and Ontario. These lakes are five of the world's largest, and together encompass more than 38,000 square miles. Michigan is the only U. S. State bordering four of the five lakes.
The inscription on the quarter reads "Great Lakes State".
