....... and to elaborate a bit, the obverse is the State coat of arms with "STATE OF OREGON" above, and 1859 (the State's entry to the Union) below, all gold on a dark blue field (ie background). the coat of arms is surrounded by 33 small stars signifying Oregon being the 33rd State of the Union. The reverse is a beaver.

I'm sure Dejavu will catch us out shortly by asking something that doesn't concern Oregon.

I've been beavering away to see what I can find to help you blaze the Oregon trail.
Oregon has produced the founders of Nike, the creator of the Simpsons (the names of some characters come from streets in Portland) and the only person to win two unshared Nobel Prizes.
Oregon produces most of America's peppermint and over 98% of its hazelnuts. Oregon has the world's longest continuous truss rail bridge and the US's largest meteorite crater.

There was a story about the Oregon trail in the 'Bunty' years ago...
