Notes:
In early 1999, the US Mint launched the first in a series of new circulating quarters featuring historic designs honouring all of the US States in the order in which they joined the nation. Five designs will be released each year, the series being completed in 2008 when all 50 states will have been covered.The first State quarter in the series was chosen by the Perth Mint to feature as the privy mark on this coin. The privy shows Delaware statesman Caesar Rodney on horseback, who rode 80 miles to Philadelphia to break the tie among Delaware delegates at the Continental Congress and vote in favour of Delaware accepting the Declaration of Independence.
| Of the total mintage of 10,000 privy marked Delaware Quarter coins, only 1,000 were available for sale to Australian collectors, by ballot through the Perth Mint mail list. The publicity material and artist's impression initially released by the Perth Mint for this coin incorrectly showed the privy on a 2000 dated 1oz silver coin. In fact, a 1999 dated reverse design was used. The coin was presented in a see-both-sides display folder, accompanied by an original 1999 US Delaware quarter. |  |
