 The Maryland Quarter is the seventh of the 50 States Commemorative Quarters released by the U.S. Mint. Above is the rear of the coin. According to the U.S. Mint's official website, Central to this design is the Maryland State House dome. It is surrounded by the nickname "The Old Line State" and balanced on both sides by oak leaf clusters. Through its new quarter, the 7th state shares its pride for the honored Maryland State House. A distinctive building dating back to 1772, it features the country's largest wooden dome built without nails. Besides housing Maryland's colonial legislature, it was also crucial to our national history. From 1783-1784, the Maryland State House served as the nation's first peacetime capital. The Treaty of Paris was ratified here, officially ending the Revolutionary War. A treasure preserved, the State House continues as the country's oldest state capital building still in legislative use.Leaf clusters from the official state tree, the White Oak, and the nickname The Old Line State complete the selected design. Maryland is nicknamed the Old Line State in honor of its "troops of the line." These troops won praise from George Washington, who was Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War.
