The Illinois quarter depicts Abraham Lincoln within the outline of the state. A farm scene to the left and the Chicago skyline to the right of the state's outline. Twenty-one stars border the coin, signifying Illinois as the 21st state to be admitted into the Union on December 3, 1818. Commonly known as the "Land of Lincoln," pays tribute to our nation's 16th president. I finish this pair of cut-outs with Sterling Silver french Earwires or Silver-Electroplated Clip-Ons. I also make these cut-outs available with or without the state name,"ILLINOIS", cut-out across the top.
