It is almost a shame that not many Americans living outside of Delaware are aware of how much this nation owes to this Revolutionary hero. It would have completely surprised me if the Delaware Statehood Quarter issued in 1999 had depicted anything other than Caesar Rodney riding on a horse. By the time I returned to Michigan, I understood why he is so renowned in Delaware. Before I lived in Dover, Delaware for a couple of months in the summer of 1968, I had never heard of him. The reverse shows a man riding on a galloping horse. Thus, Delaware was honored on the first coin in the series. Statehood Quarter series, the coins were issued in the order that the states ratified the U.S. government passed a law establishing the U.S. Why Is Caesar Rodney Honored On the First US Statehood Quarter?
