2016 Shawnee National Forest Quarter
This is a United States quarter-dollar coin, part of the 'America the Beautiful Quarters' program. This specific coin celebrates Shawnee National Forest in Illinois and was minted in 2016. The reverse side (shown) depicts the iconic 'Camel Rock' formation against a backdrop of vegetation, with a soaring red-tailed hawk above. The design includes the inscriptions 'SHAWNEE' at the top, 'ILLINOIS' and 'E PLURIBUS UNUM' along the sides, and the year '2016' at the bottom. Made of a copper-nickel clad composition, the coin measures 24.26 mm in diameter with a weight of approximately 5.67 grams. In terms of condition, the coin appears to have been in circulation, showing moderate surface abrasions, minor scuffing on the primary rock motif, and visible dirt or toning within the recessed lettering and textured areas. The metallic sheen suggests it retains some original luster but is not in uncirculated state. The reeded edge appears largely intact. This coin represents the 31st release in the overall series and was designed by Justin Kunz and engraved by Jim Licaretz.
