Candidate designs for new 2018 Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore Quarter
In July of 2016, both the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC) and the Commission of Fine Arts (CFA) reviewed several candidate designs for the reverse of the 2018 Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore quarter.
The CCAC recommended an up-close view of Chapel Rock with the white pine growing out of the top. The CFA opted for a design that also shows Chapel Rock and its lone pine tree, with trees surrounding.
Known for the impressive sandstone cliffs that line a colorful stretch of Lake Superior in Michigan, Pictured Rocks is home to natural caves and scenic waterfalls. The water holds mineral deposits that streak the rocks with bold colors, giving the park its name.
