North Carolina was the 12th state of the original 13 colonies to ratify the Constitution. As a result, it is the 12th state to be honored with a unique coin in the Commemorative 50 States Quarter Program, initiated by the U.S. Mint. North Carolina selected the Wright Brothers first airplane flight in 1903 for the coins design. The design is based upon a photograph that was actually taken during the famous first flight, capturing an image of Wilbur, Orvilles brother, running along side the plane.
