Key Characteristics and Details:

Obverse (Heads): A portrait of George Washington, restored to bring out subtle details from the original 1932 design.

Reverse (Tails): Features a unique design for each of the 56 sites, honoring national parks, forests, or historic landmarks, released in the order the site was established.

Design Process: Created through collaboration between the U.S. Mint and the National Park Service.
