On September 1, 2016, the U.S. Mint announced the final design for the Ozark National Scenic Riverways quarters. The reverse shows Alley Mill, a steel roller mill built in the 1890s and once used for converting wheat into flour.
The inscriptions on the coin’s reverse include the name of the site: ozark riverways, missouri, the year of issue: 2017, and the motto: e pluribus unum.
This handsome quarter is a perfect match for the 2003 Statehood quarter, which also featured Missouri, the park’s home state. As the 38th in the series overall, the Ozark quarter will be followed by designs honoring Ellis Island and George Rogers Clark National Historical Park.
