United States Mint Reveals Designs for the Final Coins in the America the Beautiful Quarters® Program

August 13, 2019

 

ROSEMONT, IL – The United States Mint (Mint) unveiled the official designs today for the final six coins in the America the Beautiful Quarters® Program. The unveiling took place at the American Numismatic Association’s World’s Fair of Money in the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center.

 

The first five designs will appear on the reverses (tails) of quarters set for release in 2020 honoring the National Park of American Samoa (American Samoa), Weir Farm National Historic Site (Connecticut), Salt River Bay National Historical Park and Ecological Preserve (U.S. Virgin Islands), Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park (Vermont), and Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve (Kansas). The design for the sixth and final coin in the program will honor the Tuskegee Airmen National Historic Site in Alabama, which is set for release in 2021.

 

Artists in the Mint’s Artistic Infusion Program (AIP) created the designs, which the Mint’s Sculptor-Engravers sculpted.

 

National Park of American Samoa

 

Designer: Richard Masters

Sculptor-Engraver: Phebe Hemphill

Mr. Masters’ design depicts a Samoan Fruit Bat mother hanging in a tree with her pup evoking the remarkable care and energy that this species puts into their offspring. The design is intended to promote awareness of the species’ threatened status due to habitat loss and commercial hunting. The National Park of American Samoa is the only park in the United States that is home to the Samoan Fruit Bat. Inscriptions are “NATIONAL PARK,” “AMERICAN SAMOA,” “2020,” and “E PLURIBUS UNUM.”

Baker, notable

First our tax dollars fund bat virus lab testing in Wuhan since the last administration and then they just so happen to engrave a bat on the 2020 quarter the same year as a bat world wide pandemic.
