2012 (D) Acadia National Park (Maine)

This 2012 Acadia National Park quarter is minted at the United States Mint at Denver and has never been placed into circulation.

The United States Mint America the Beautiful Quarters® Program will see five new strikes in 2012, the third of which will be the 2012 Acadia National Park Quarter. The coin marks the thirteenth issue for the program as a whole which launched in 2010. The quarter dollar for the state of Maine entered circulation on 11^th June 2012.

The reverse, designed by Barbara Fox and sculpted by Joseph Menna, depicts a scene of Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse and Acadia’s rough coastline. Inscriptions on the reverse include ACADIA, MAINE, 2012 and E PLURIBUS UNUM.

Obverses of all America the Beautiful Quarters include John Flanagan’s 1932 portrait of George Washington. The image is one that has been restored to include the "subtle details and the beauty of the original model," unlike earlier quarters before the program. Inscriptions shown on the obverse include UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, LIBERTY, IN GOD WE TRUST and QUARTER DOLLAR.
