The reverse depicts the Pemaquid Point Lighthouse standing on rocky shores with a schooner under full sail. The lighthouse, built in 1827, together with the schooner symbolize Maine's rich maritime heritage and rugged coastal identity. Illinois, Alabama, Maine, Missouri, and Arkansas. Some state designs attracted controversy over their selections. Struck at the original U.S. Mint facility, in continuous operation since 1792.
