Cumberland Gap Quarter design
On July 22, 2015, the U.S. Mint announced the final design for the Cumberland Gap National Historical Park quarters. The reverse shows a frontiersman looking to the west, along with the inscription first doorway to the west.
The inscriptions on the coin’s reverse include the name of the site: cumberland gap, the location of the site: kentucky, the year of issue: 2016, and the motto: e pluribus unum.
This handsome quarter is a perfect match for the 2001 Statehood quarter, which also featured Kentucky, the park’s home state. As the 32nd in the series overall, the Cumberland quarter will be followed by designs honoring Harpers Ferry, Theodore Roosevelt and Fort Moultrie parks.
