This ranks 4th of 12 years by total mintage, below the series median of 1.5 billion. The obverse features George Washington facing left, based on a 1786 bust by Jean-Antoine Houdon and the reverse displays unique designs featuring national parks and sites from each state and territory. Gettysburg (PA), Glacier (MT), Olympic (WA), Vicksburg (MS), and Chickasaw (OK) were released. The Gettysburg and Vicksburg quarters resonated with Civil War history collectors. Struck in 75% copper, 25% nickel over a pure copper center, 24.3 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Collectors have identified one known die variety for this date (atypical die clash).
