The Maryland Quarter depicts the Maryland Statehouse and leaf clusters from the official state tree, the White Oak. The Maryland Statehouse building dates back to 1772, it features the country's largest wooden dome built without nails. It houses Maryland's colonial legislature, and was also crucial to our national history. From 1783-1784, the Maryland Statehouse served as the nation's first peacetime capital. The Treaty of Paris was ratified here, ending the Revolutionary War. This Statehouse continues as the country's oldest state capital building still in legislative use. I complete the cut out with a very thick and sturdy Sterling Bail and finish it with a Base Metal Snake Key Chain & Ring. I also make these cut-outs available with(shown) or without the state name,"MARYLAND" across the top.
