2008 42¢ Flags of Our Nation
This Flags of Our Nation Coin Cover features the Connecticut stamp from the Flags of Our Nation Series, two uncirculated state quarters, and a cachet, or picture, that reflects the history of the state.
Honored in the 2008 Flags of Our Nation stamp series, the Connecticut State Flag was adopted on May 29, 1895. The flag features a shield with three grapevines. Legend states that these grapevines represent Connecticut’s first three settlements. The first settlers in the Connecticut area came from Massachusetts in 1633, building a small fort in what is today Hartford. Searching for fertile farmland, more settlers soon moved to Connecticut and established the Windsor and Wethersfield settlements. In 1639, people from the three settlements met to create one of America’s first constitutions.
Issued in 1999, the Connecticut State Quarter pictures the historic “Charter Oak.” In 1687, King James II sent British Royal Governor Sir Edmund Andros to force the Connecticut government’s surrender. During Andros’ meeting with American Captain Joseph Wadsworth, all the candles in the room were mysteriously extinguished. When they were relit, the Connecticut state charter was gone! According to legend, Wadsworth took the charter and hid it in a majestic white oak, protecting it and the colony from British oppression.
The 2008 Connecticut Flags of Our Nation Coin First Day Cover features a steamboat on the Connecticut River near Hartford. From the 1840s to 1930s, steamship transport was the primary means of moving goods between Connecticut and New York.
