Connecticut State Quarter (Charter Oak)
The item depicted is a United States quarter, specifically a State Quarter from the 50 State Quarters Program. This particular coin appears to be the Connecticut State Quarter, indicated by the word 'CONNECTICUT' visible along the top edge of the coin's design on the obverse side. The central design element on this side is a large, mature oak tree, which is the 'Charter Oak' of Connecticut. The tree is depicted with a detailed canopy and trunk, firmly rooted. Below the tree, the year '1788' and '1999' are visible, signifying the year Connecticut ratified the U.S. Constitution and the year this coin was minted. There is also a small inscription that appears to be 'The Charter Oak'. The coin is circular and made of a metallic material, consistent with the standard clad composition for U.S. quarters (copper-nickel clad copper). Its color is a typical silver-grey. The surface of the coin shows some signs of circulation, with a slight dulling of the luster and minor surface scratches, but no significant damage like deep gouges or bends are apparent. The relief of the design elements remains clear and distinct, indicating good circulation quality. The craftsmanship is consistent with mass-produced coinage from the United States Mint. The coin's edge, though not fully visible, is expected to be reeded. The overall condition suggests that it is a circulated coin but well-preserved.
