The Texas quarter is the third of 2004 and the 28th in the 50 State Quarters Program. The quarters are issued in the order the states were admitted into the Union. On December 29, 1845, Texas became the 28th state to be admitted into the Union. The Texas quarter incorporates the distinctive outline of the State with a superimposed star and the inscription, "The Lone Star State." The lariat encircling the design is symbolic of the cattle and cowboy history of Texas and the frontier spirit.
