Blue Ridge Parkway Quarter design
On July 29, 2014, the U.S. Mint announced the final design for the Blue Ridge Parkway quarters. The reverse shows the graceful curvature of the roadway as it hugs the mountainside. A cluster of American dogwood (North Carolina’s state flower) adorns the foreground.
The inscriptions on the coin’s reverse include the name of the site: blue ridge parkway, north carolina, the year of issue: 2015, and the motto: e pluribus unum.
The handsome Blue Ridge Parkway quarter is a perfect match for the 2001 Statehood quarter, which also featured North Carolina, the park’s home state. As the 28th in the series overall, the Homestead quarter will be followed by designs honoring Bombay Hook and Saratoga parks.
