2010 Yellowstone Quarter

2010 Yellowstone National Park Quarter, Obverse - Click to Enlarge

The second coin of five to be issued in 2010 as part of the US Mint's America the Beautiful Coin Series is the 2010 Yellowstone National Park Quarter.

Located primarily in Wyoming, Yellowstone National Park was created in 1872 making it the first national park in the nation's history. Filled with thermal features including the famous 'Old Faithful Geyser', Yellowstone is also home to abundant wildlife and picturesque scenery.

The final design for the reverse of the Yellowstone Quarter has not yet been announced by the US Mint, but the Citizen's Coinage Advisory Committee (one of two groups charged with recommending a design) chose an image of buffalo and Old Faithful.
