 The North Carolina Quarter is the twelveth 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, it highlights the aviation achievement of Orville and Wilbur Wright with a rendition of the famous 1903 photograph of the their accomplishment along with the inscription "First Flight."

The North Carolina quarter commemorates the historic feat that took place on December 17, 1903, at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina when Orville Wright piloted the first successful flight of a heavier-than-air, self-propelled flying machine. The craft, called the Flyer, traveled a distance of approximately 37 meters (120 feet) on its first flight and soared even further as one of the most significant human achievements in history.
