Shenandoah National Park Quarter

The second United States Mint quarter for release in 2014 is the Shenandoah National Park Quarter. This strike honors the national park in Virginia and represents the twenty-second coin from the America the Beautiful Quarters® Program. Its circulation release date is March 31, 2014.

Shown on the reverse is the view from Little Stony Man summit. Inscriptions around the scene read: SHENANDOAH, VIRGINIA, 2014 and E PLURIBUS UNUM. Phebe Hemphill designed and sculpted the image.

Shenandoah National Park Quarters found in eventual pocket change will come only from Philadelphia or Denver, the two plants responsible for striking all American coinage for commerce.
