White Mountains National Forest quarter design
The final approved design for the 16th National Park quarter has been announced.
The reverse of the first 2013 quarter, honoring the White Mountains National Forest in New Hampshire (established in 1918), features 3,490 foot Mount Chocorua. Located in the Sandwich Range, Chocorua is one of New Hampshire’s most hiked and most photographed mountains.
Inscriptions on the reverse of the White Mountains quarter include the name of the site (WHITE MOUNTAIN), its location (NEW HAMPSHIRE), the coin’s year of issue (2013), and the motto E PLURIBUS UNUM. The obverse features a restored version of the George Washington portrait introduced on U.S. quarters in 1932.
