Candidate Designs for new 2019 American Memorial Park Quarter
In September of 2017, both the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC) and the Commission of Fine Arts (CFA) made recommendations after reviewing several candidate designs for the reverse of the 2019 American Memorial Park quarter.
The CCAC did not make a design recommendation, instead asking that a second round of designs be submitted for consideration. The CFA chose a design showing a Chamorro boy on the shoulder of a soldier, saluting the flag at the Memorial Court of Honor and Flag Circle.
Host to a critical World War II Pacific Theater conflict, Saipan (the largest of the Northern Mariana Islands) is located south of Japan. Today, American Memorial Park stands as a tribute to those who gave their lives during the battle.
