2009-P USA Statehood Quarter - Puerto Rico - Single
The Puerto Rico Quarter was released on March 30, 2009. This marked the second release of the 2009 DC & US Territories Quarter Program.
The reverse design features a view of the sea from a sentry box in Old San Juan. Pictured at right is the hibiscus. The inscriptions read Puerto Rico, Isla del Encanto (translated: Isle of Enchantment), E Pluribus Unum, and the date. The reverse was designed and sculpted by Joseph Menna.
Another proposed design included a depiction of the Governors residence, the Palacio de Santa Catalina. This is the oldest government building in the Americas which has remained in continuous use. A second proposed design depicted the Arecibo Observatory. This enormous telescope is the largest single aperture telescope ever constructed. The selection of the Old San Juan design was announced by the US Mint on December 15, 2008.
An official launch ceremony for the Puerto Rico Quarter was held on April 2, 2009 at San Juans La Arcada in Paseo La Princesa. The ceremony presented by United States Mint Director Edmund Moy and Puerto Rico Governor Luis Fortuno. Also in attendance were Puerto Ricos First Lady Luce Vela and Secretary of State Kenneth McClintock. The festivities will include local entertainment and a coin exchange. Free coins were given to children 18 years and younger.
