Kisatchie National Forest Quarter design
On July 29, 2014, the U.S. Mint announced the final design for the Kisatchie National Forest quarters. The reverse shows a wild turkey flying above bluestem grass. Longleaf pine trees adorn the background.
The inscriptions on the coin’s reverse include the name of the site: kisatchie, louisiana, the year of issue: 2015, and the motto: e pluribus unum.
This handsome quarter is a perfect match for the 2002 Statehood quarter, which also featured Louisiana, the park’s home state. As the 27th in the series overall, the Kisatchie quarter will be followed by designs honoring Blue Ridge, Bombay Hook and Saratoga parks.
