Delaware is the first of four coins to be released this year. It features Annie Jump Cannon, a Delaware-born internationally recognized astronomer who invented a system for classifying the stars still in use today.  The reverse design features a silhouette of Annie Jump Cannon against the night sky, with a number of stars visible.
The Pennsylvania coin is the second of four to be released this year. It features the polio vaccine developed by Dr. Jonas Salk and his team at the University of Pittsburgh in the early 1950s. At the time, polio was a devastating disease that disproportionally affected children and young adults and left many paralyzed and unable to walk.
The reverse depicts an artist?s conception of the poliovirus at three different levels of magnification along with the silhouette of a period microscope, representing the extensive research conducted to develop a cure for polio.
The New Jersey coin is the third of four to be released this year. It features an electric light bulb, developed by Thomas Edison and his team of researchers in New Jersey. The advent of commercially manufactured light bulbs gave people easy control over light in homes and businesses, which drastically changed infrastructure, business, and society by allowing work and social activities to occur regardless of the time of day.
The reverse depicts an Edison bulb against an ornate background.
The Georgia coin is the last of four to be released in 2019. It features the Trustees' Garden, established by James Oglethorpe in 1734. Oglethorpe was a British soldier, Member of Parliament, and philanthropist who founded the Colony of Georgia. The Trustees' Garden is considered one of the first agriculture experimental gardens in America. The ten acres of land, located in Savannah, included plants from around the world so the colonists could determine the best crops for the Georgia climate. The Trustees' Garden reflected the scientific and commercial aspirations of the trustees and their backers in England.
The reverse depicts a hand planting seeds from which grows a variety of species representing the variety of plants grown in the garden: an orange tree seedling, sassafras, grapes, white mulberry, flax, peaches, olive, and a young shoot too small to be identified.
The obverse design features a dramatic representation of the Statue of Liberty in profile.  Information & images from US Mint.
