There are three variations of the California “Whale Tail” plate (which benefits the California Coastal Commission) – 1997, 2001, and 2011 respectively. Florida and Massachusetts also have whale tails, while an orca and dolphins leap out of the water in specialties for Washington, Florida, and Mississippi.
II. FISH
Bass
Trout
Other Fish
III. LOONS
Loons breed during the summer and inhabit the wooded lakes of these states, although they are much more prevalent in Canada.
IV. CRUSTACEANS
There’s no denying the State Crustacean (yes, it’s a thing) of Maine: lobster. The state is the largest lobster-producing state in the U.S. and a graphic has appeared on the 1987 base as well as a 2004 specialty. It’s worth noting that lobsters are this color red only after being cooked, but they are more easily recognized by the public this way. Maryland is famous for the Blue crab, and it is located on the that state’s and Virginia’s specialties benefiting the Chesapeake.
V. OTHER AQUATIC-ABLED PALS
Ducks float on a southern marsh, a fish and a duck inhabit the bottom of an Arizona specialty, a turtle makes a pilgrimage on a beach, and a river otter rests on a bank as the sun sets on these three specialties.
