2013 (D) Mount Rushmore National Memorial (South Dakota)

This 2013 Mount Rushmore National Memorial quarter is minted at the United States Mint at Denver and have never been placed into circulation.

The 2013 edition of the United States Mint America the Beautiful Quarters® Program features the fifth annual release of five quarters in the America the Beautiful Quarters Program.

Each coin in this series features a common obverse (heads) with the 1932 portrait of George Washington by John Flanagan, restored to bring out subtle details and the beauty of the original model. Inscriptions are UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, LIBERTY, IN GOD WE TRUST and QUARTER DOLLAR.

The 2013 reverse (tails) of this coin honors Mount Rushmore National Memorial. The reverse design was inspired by photos of men who are adding the final details to Thomas Jefferson’s face. Mount Rushmore was featured on three 1991 Mount Rushmore Golden Anniversary Commemorative Coins and on the 2006 South Dakota quarter issued under the 50 State Quarters® Program. This new design is distinctly different and offers a unique and educational perspective on how Mount Rushmore was created and sculpted. Inscriptions are MOUNT RUSHMORE, SOUTH DAKOTA, 2013 and E PLURIBUS UNUM.
