On August 1, 2017, the U.S. Mint announced the final design for the Cumberland Island National Seashore quarters. The reverse shows a snowy egret with its wings spread, perched on a branch before a marsh. The inscriptions on the coin’s reverse include the name and location of the site: cumberland island, georgia, the year of issue: 2018, and the motto: e pluribus unum.
This handsome quarter is a perfect match for the 1999 Statehood quarter, which also featured Georgia, the park’s home state. As the 44th in the series overall, the Cumberland Island quarter will be followed by a design honoring Rhode Island’s Block Island National Wildlife Refuge.
