Default Question

What does the right half of the Arizona Quarter
suppose to be representing in the Grand Canyon?


Thanks.


Well, assuming this is a serious question (?), I'd hazard a guess that it is
depicting the saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea).

Other than that, I really like the "Rising Sun" homage to the Japanese
tradition. (Though I didn't know that Japan figures so significantly in the
traditions of Arizona.)
