    Took me a minute, but I got it. Perhaps a hint...the state quarter in question pertains to the same land that the Monarch ruled.

    Hello, I knew the answer quickly, without wiki(pedia). Goodbye is the same, but I probably wouldn't have bet much to begin with.

    HI. I just wanted to say this was a great jeopardy answer. I'm impressed two colleges kids got the question in what...30 seconds? Took me a little longer.

    And the "Delta Queen" on the Mississippi quarter?

    Oh, wait. The State of Mississippi could not be bothered to submit a design, so the Mint stuck the state flower on the coin.
