Great Smoky Mountains National Park Quarter design
On November 12, 2013, the U.S. Mint announced the final design for the Great Smoky Mountains National Park quarters. These beautiful reverses will show a log cabin nestled in the mountains, with a hawk flying overhead. This will be the first quarter design issued for 2014. The inscriptions on the coin’s reverse include the name of the site: great smoky mountains, tennessee, the year of issue: 2014, and the motto: e pluribus unum. This handsome quarter is a perfect match for the 2002 Statehood quarter, which also featured Tennessee, the park’s home state. As the 21st in the series overall, the Great Smoky Mountains quarter will be followed by designs honoring Shenandoah, Arches, Great Sand Dunes and Everglades National Parks.
