Gettysburg National Military Park quarter design
The final approved design for the sixth National Park quarter was announced on December 1, 2010.
The reverse of the first 2011 quarter, honoring Gettysburg National Military Park in Pennsylvania (established in 1895), features the 72nd Pennsylvania Infantry Monument.
Inscriptions on the coin’s reverse include the name of the site (GETTYSBURG), its location (PENNSYLVANIA), the coin’s year of issue (2011), and the motto E PLURIBUS UNUM. The obverse features a restored version of the George Washington portrait introduced on U.S. quarters in 1932.
The Gettysburg quarter will be followed by other 2011 quarters honoring Glacier National Park, Olympic National Park, Vicksburg National Military Park, and Chickasaw National Recreation Area.
