2008 42¢ Flags of Our Nation
California Coin Cover
California Coin Cover
This Flags of Our Nation Coin Cover features the California stamp from the Flags of Our Nation Series, two uncirculated state quarters, and a cachet, or picture, that reflects the history of the state.
The 2008 stamp commemorates the state flag of California. The flag was designed by William L. Todd, a nephew of Abraham Lincoln. It was first raised on June 14, 1846, at Sonoma during the Bear Flag Revolt to declare independence from Mexican control. The flag, virtually unchanged since 1846, centers around a large grizzly bear. Chosen as a symbol of strength, the grizzly bear is common in the state of California.
California’s natural history was honored on the 2005 California state quarter. The coin bears an image of conservationist John Muir gazing upon the Yosemite Valley as a California condor soars overhead. In 1868, John Muir (1838-1914) traveled to California to see the Yosemite Valley. Inspired by the natural beauty of Yosemite, Muir dedicated the rest of his life to preserving nature. In 1890, Congress officially established Yosemite National Park. The California condor, with a wingspan of up to nine feet, was once nearly extinct. Through successful captive breeding programs, the condor’s numbers have increased from 25 in the 1980s to over 200 in 2008.
The California Flags of Our Nation Coin First Day Cover shows a prospector panning for gold. The discovery of gold at Sutter’s Mill led to a great influx of new settlers to California and to California’s official nickname – “The Golden State.”
