The 10th issue and final 2011 design of the America’s National Park Quarter Series, featuring Chickasaw National Recreation Area in Oklahoma, was released on Wednesday, November 16, 2011 at a special ceremony in the recreation area’s Flower Park. The popular 2010-2021 quarter series is honoring a national park or historic site in each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the 5 U.S. territories.
Following the release ceremony, attendees could exchange cash for rolls of the new quarters – which depict Chickasaw’s Lincoln Bridge on the reverse. The beautiful limestone bridge was dedicated in 1909 to honor the centennial of Abraham Lincoln’s birth. The obverse bears a smaller restored version of the George Washington portrait introduced on U.S. quarters in 1932. Add the new 2011 Chickasaw quarters to your collection.
