Homestead National Monument Quarter design
On July 29, 2014, the U.S. Mint announced the final design for the Homestead National Monument of America quarters. These symbolic reverses will show ears of wheat flanking a home and water spigot. They represent food, shelter and water – the three things needed by every homesteader for survival. This will be the first quarter design issued for 2015.
The inscriptions on the coin’s reverse include the name of the site: homestead, nebraska, the year of issue: 2015, and the motto: e pluribus unum.
This handsome quarter is a perfect match for the 2006 Statehood quarter, which also featured Nebraska, the park’s home state. As the 26th in the series overall, the Homestead quarter will be followed by designs honoring Kisatchie, Blue Ridge, Bombay Hook and Saratoga parks.
