The U.S. Mint released it on October 12, 1999 as the fifth and final quarter of the year. The quarter design shows the Charter Oak, the tree that hid the charter from Britain’s King Charles II in 1662. This charter established Connecticut’s boundaries and self-rule. In 1687, Captain Joseph Wadsworth saved the charter from the hands of the British, hiding it safely in this tree. Even after Connecticut became a state in 1788, it continued to use the charter as its constitution. A new state constitution was adopted in 1965.
