On August 1, 2017, the U.S. Mint announced the final design for the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore quarters. The reverse shows Chapel Rock with the white pine that grows out of its top. The inscriptions on the coin’s reverse include the name and location of the site: pictured rocks, michigan, the year of issue: 2018, and the motto: e pluribus unum.
This handsome quarter is a perfect match for the 2004 Statehood quarter, which also featured Michigan, the park’s home state. As the 41st in the series overall, the Pictured Rocks quarter will be followed by designs honoring Apostle Islands, Voyageurs, Cumberland Island and Block Island sites.
