2009 Northern Mariana Islands Quarter (BUY)
The Northern Mariana Islands Quarter will be released on November 30, 2009. This will be the sixth and final release of the 2009 DC & US Territories Quarter Program. This program is a follow up to the popular 50 State Quarters Program.
The reverse design for the quarter features symbols representative of the islands. This includes a Latte, a two piece stone pillar which also appears on the Guam Quarter, amongst coconut trees, wild plants, native birds, and a sailing vessel. A Teibwo (pacific basil) frames the design. The reverse was designed by Richard Masters and sculpted by Phebe Hemphill.
The inscriptions include "Northern Mariana Islands," "E Pluribus Unum," and the date.
This will mark the sixth and final coin of the DC & US Territories Quarter Program. After eleven years, all fifty US States, five US Territories, and the District of Columbia will have all been honored with a unique circulating commemorative quarter dollar coin!
