The second issue of the America’s National Park Quarter series, featuring Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, was released by the U.S. Mint on June 1, 2010. The new quarter series of 2010-2021 will honor a national park or historic site in each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the 5 U.S. territories.
The reverse design of the 2010 Yellowstone quarter depicts the park’s most famous geyser, Old Faithful, which erupts on average every 91 minutes. An American bison, of which the largest population on public lands resides in Yellowstone, is seen in the foreground. The obverse of the coin bears a smaller restored version of the original George Washington portrait introduced on U.S. quarters in 1932.
