Georgia
"The Peach State," famous for its sweet peaches. Its reverse holds a peach, an oak branch, and the state outline.
Georgia is a state famous for the sweet peaches that grow in the warm climate of the South. That is why its nickname is “The Peach State.” It was also the fourth state to ratify the Constitution (No. 4).
On the coin’s reverse, the things that symbolize Georgia are gathered together warmly. At the center sits a peach, beside it stretches a branch of the live oak (an evergreen oak), the state tree, and the outline of the state of Georgia embraces them all. On the band above is written the state motto, “Wisdom, Justice, Moderation.”
The peach shows Georgia’s agriculture and abundance, and the evergreen oak shows the ever-green nature of the South. And the three words—wisdom, justice, moderation—hold the disposition this state has long sought to uphold.
Georgia joined the Union on January 2, 1788. As one of the original thirteen states, it is a Southern state that took part in the very start of the nation of America.
Looking at the single peach on the coin, we can naturally sense how much this state treasures and takes pride in what grows from its own land.
