On August 13, 2019, the U.S. Mint announced the final design for the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve quarters. The reverse shows a Regal Fritillary butterfly before Big Bluestem and Indian grasses. The inscriptions on the coin’s reverse include the name and location of the site: tallgrass prairie, kansas, the year of issue: 2020, and the motto: e pluribus unum.
Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve Quarter
This handsome quarter is a perfect match for the 2005 Statehood quarter, which also featured Kansas, the park’s location. As the 55th in the series overall, the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve quarter will be followed by one final design in 2021, honoring Tuskegee Airmen National Historic Site in Alabama.
