Reverse descriptionAs the CoA puts it, `The reverse design was developed to Commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the State of Arizona by the Arizona Territorial Mint. There is a raised outline of the State of Arizona with the state flag represented by a star in the center of the state from which rays radiate out from the upper portion of the star to the state boundaries. The year `1912` is on the left of the state and `2012` on the right side defining the 100 years. Below the state border, the inscription reads `February, 14th - 48th State` referring to the date in 1912 that Arizona became the 48th state in the United States of America. `Arizona` is inscribed above the state with `Centennial` below.`
