Georgia Peach Orchard Plate
2012–presentGeorgia · current · “Peach State”
Rolling orchard rows under a blue sky, and the county name printed along the foot as part of the artwork rather than added on a sticker. Georgia grows fewer peaches than California or South Carolina, which makes PEACH STATE a claim about identity rather than agriculture. Offered alongside the plain peach plate at no extra cost, and the two share one serial pool, so the number on a plate never tells you which design it belongs to. The plate shown is a reconstruction carrying an invented serial, so no real registration is depicted.
Still on the road
This is a current issue, first seen in 2012 and still being handed out. Nothing about it is settled history: the serial sequence is still advancing, and the design will only stop where the state decides to replace it.
Printed, not stamped
This plate is smooth. The design is printed onto flat reflective sheeting rather than pressed into the metal. It is what makes photographic backgrounds and fine detail possible at all, and it is the reason a modern plate feels like a sign where an older one feels like a stamping.
