Oklahoma Quarter The first commemorative quarter coin released in 2008 honors Oklahoma, and is the 46th coin in the United States Mint's 50 State Quarters® Program.
Oklahoma, the "Sooner State", was admitted into the Union on November 16, 1907, becoming our Nation’s 46th State. Oklahoma's quarter features an image of the Scissortail Flycatcher, (the State bird), in flight. The bird is soaring over Indian Blanket, the State wildflower.
The coin's inscriptions read "Oklahoma" and "1907".
The Indian Blanket symbolizes the State's Native American heritage and the native long grass prairies with abundant wildlife. Oklahoma was formed by a combination of the Oklahoma Territory and the Territory of the Five Civilized Tribes: Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek, Seminole and Cherokee.
The name, Oklahoma, is derived from the Choctaw words "okla" and homma" meaning "red" and "people".
