    I bought this at an estate sale (really) because of the attractive toning. It's numbered 187 of 2000 on the edge. Curious where it was minted? Were they made for each state? Or any other info you may have.

    Caecilius (Cecil) Calvert, 2d Baron Baltimore, received the original Royal Charter for the Maryland Colony, which he founded in 1634, although he never personally visited the colony, as his sons served as Governors. The obverse legend mentions his name, and "Terrae Mariae & C.", probably Latin for "Maryland Colony". The dates on the reverse indicate that this is a privately minted limited edition commemorating the 350th anniversary of the founding of the colony.
