Glacier National Park quarter design
On Wednesday, December 1, 2010, the U.S. Mint announced the final design for the Glacier National Park quarters. These beautiful reverses will show the northeast slope of Mount Reynolds in the background and a mountain goat on the craggy hillside. As the second issue in the 2011 series, the coin will be released after the Gettysburg National Military Park quarter.
The inscriptions on the coin’s reverse include the name of the site: Glacier, Montana, the year of issue: 2011, and the motto: e pluribus unum.
This handsome quarter is a perfect match for the 2007 Statehood quarter, which also featured Montana, the park’s home state. As 7th in the series overall, the Glacier quarter will be followed by the Olympic National Park, Vicksburg National Military Park and the Chickasaw National Recreation Area issues.
