The Illinois state quarter (the first to be issued in 2003) features Abe Lincoln against the outline of the shape of the state. To the left is a farm, to the right, part of Chicago's skyline (featuring the John Hancock Center).
The slogan "Land of Lincoln" is featured, as well as one unique to the quarter: "21st State, 21st Century."
21 stars ring the outside edge of the quarter.
