Olympic National Park quarter design
The U.S. Mint announced the official design for the Olympic National Park quarter on Wednesday, December 1, 2010. This beautiful reverse shows a Roosevelt elk by the Hoh River with Mount Olympus in the background. As the third issue in the 2011 series, the Olympic coin will be released after the Glacier National Park quarter.
The inscriptions on the coin’s reverse include the name of the site: OLYMPIC, WASHINGTON the year of issue: 2011, and the motto: E PLURIBUS UNUM.
This handsome quarter is a perfect match for the 2007 Statehood quarter, which also featured Washington, the park’s home state. As 8th in the series overall, the Olympic quarter will be followed by the Vicksburg National Military Park and the Chickasaw National Recreation Area issues.
