On August 14, 2018, the U.S. Mint announced the final design for the War in the Pacific National Historical Park quarters. The reverse shows American forces landing at Asan Bay. These troops strengthened the number available to fight for the liberation of Guam. The inscriptions on the coin’s reverse include the name and location of the site: war in the pacific, guam, the year of issue: 2019, and the motto: e pluribus unum.
This handsome quarter is a perfect match for the 2009 D.C. and U.S. Territories quarter, which also featured Guam, the park’s location. As the 48th in the series overall, the War in the Pacific National Historical Park quarter will be followed by a design honoring San Antonio Missions National Historical Park in Texas.
