2010 Yosemite Quarter

2010 Yosemite National Park Quarter, Obverse - Click to Enlarge

The third coin to be issued for the year as part of the US Mint's America the Beautiful Quarter Program is the 2010 Yosemite National Park Quarter.

This quarter follows the Hot Springs National Park and Yellowstone National Park coins.

The amazing scenery and wildlife is what pushed Congress into creating the Yosemite Grant in 1864, which was signed by President Abraham Lincoln. The grant still left the area under Californian control, which proved to be detrimental to the area, so federal control was regained in 1906. It came under the control of the National Park System in 1916 when that agency was created.
