The Front of our Florida bill pictures William Dunn Moseley, who was inaugurated as Florida's first governor on June 25, 1845. The bill's denomination, 1845, is the year of Florida's admission to the Union as the 27th state.  The actual admission date, 03/03/1845 is encoded in the serial number within FL, the state's abbreviation.  The capital city, Tallahassee, FL, is also mentioned. 

 

The Back of the Bill pictures the Mockingbird as the state bird, the Sabal Palm (Cabbage Palmetto) as the state tree, the Orange Blossom as the state flower, and the Florida Panther.

 

The U.S. Commemorative Quarter Dollar for the State of Florida is shown, and the state nickname, The Sunshine State, is mentioned.
