The Acadia National Park quarter is the third to be released in 2012 and the 13th overall in the America the Beautiful Quarters Program.
The reverse (tails side) image depicts a view of the Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse and Acadia's rough coastline. The design captures many representative elements of Acadia: the coastline, the lighthouse, the pine trees and the ocean. Inscriptions are ACADIA, MAINE, 2012 and E PLURIBUS UNUM. Design candidates were developed in consultation with representatives of Acadia National Park. Each coin in the series features a common obverse (heads) with the 1932 portrait of George Washington by John Flanagan, restored to bring out subtle details and the beauty of the original model. Inscriptions are UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, LIBERTY, IN GOD WE TRUST and QUARTER DOLLAR.
