2015-P United States 25-Cent Kisatchie/Louisiana National Park Quarter Coin (Brilliant Uncirculated)

2015-P United States 25-Cent Kisatchie/Louisiana National Park Quarter Coin (Brilliant Uncirculated)

In 2010, the United States Mint began issuing 56 quarter-dollar coins featuring designs depicting national parks and other national sites as part of the United States Mint America the Beautiful Quarters Program.

Spread across seven parishes in Louisiana, Kisatchie National Forest is divided into five managed units called Ranger Districts that total more than 604,000 acres of public lands. Hidden in the bayous underneath the bald cypress groves and old growth pine lies a world of natural beauty, excitement, learning, recreation, and natural and cultural resources. The name Kisatchie is derived from a tribe of Kichai Indians of the Caddoan Confederacy. It was established as a national site in 1936.

Design

Obverse:
John Flanagan's portrait of George Washington (modified by William Cousins) is featured on the obverse. Also seen are the inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "QUARTER DOLLAR," "LIBERTY", "IN GOD WE TRUST" and the mintmark.

Reverse:
Reverses of Kisatchie National Forest quarters and five ounce silver coins feature a wild turkey flying just over blue stem grass. Long leaf pine trees line the background. Inscriptions are KISATCHIE, LOUISIANA, 2015, and E PLURIBUS UNUM. Credit goes to AIP artist Susan Gamble for the design, and the sculpting will be by United States Mint Sculptor-Engraver Joseph Menna.
