2009 Colorized Puerto Rico Territories Quarter

Following the Statehood quarter series, this Puerto Rico issue is the second of six new 2009 quarters honoring the District of Columbia and U.S. Territories. The Caribbean island of Puerto Rico, 100 miles long by 35 miles wide, was discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1493. This coin is in vibrant color thanks to Littleton's artists!
