2001 Vermont State Quarters
Obverse Side
The obverse will continue to bear the familiar restored 1932 John Flannagan image of George Washington.
Reverse Side
The design honors the Green Mountain State, the first state admitted to the Union after the original 13 colonies. Vermont is most famous for its skiing and the production of maple sugar and syrup. Until the 1800s when cane sugar was introduced, Americans relied on Vermont’s maple sugar for much of its sugar supply. Also featured on the quarter is Camel’s Hump Mountain in the northern half of Vermont’s Green Mountains. Camel’s Hump is easily recognized by its unique double-humped profile and is one of the highest peaks in Vermont.
