The Official New Hampshire State Quarters

New Hampshire State Motto: Live free or die
 

The New Hampshire state quarter was created in 2000 and was the ninth quarter released in the U.S. Mint's 50 State Quarters Program. The design on the front of the quarter features a profile of the Old Man of the Mountain with the state motto, "Live Free or Die," written below. The reverse of the quarter features the state bird, the purple finch, perched on a map of the state with an outline of the White Mountains in the background.

The Old Man of the Mountain symbolizes the rugged individualism and independent spirit of the state, while the phrase "Live Free or Die" is an iconic New Hampshire saying and a reminder of the state's commitment to individual liberty and freedom. The purple finch is the state bird and its presence symbolizes the state's natural beauty. The map of the state and the White Mountains in the background represent the state's geography.

The New Hampshire National Park Quarter is a part of the America the Beautiful Quarters series, which is a collection of 56 quarter-dollar coins issued by the United States Mint. The New Hampshire quarter is the 9th coin in the series and was released on August 30, 2010. The coin depicts the White Mountain National Forest, which is located in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, and is the only national forest located in the state. The reverse of the quarter features a view of Mount Chocorua, the most iconic peak in the White Mountains. The inscriptions around the image are "White Mountain National Forest," "New Hampshire," and "2010."

The White Mountain National Forest is a symbol of the state of New Hampshire, and has held special significance for generations of residents who have come to appreciate its beauty and the recreational opportunities that it provides. The forest is also a popular tourist destination, and the quarter is meant to commemorate its importance to the state and its residents. The White Mountains are also a popular destination for skiers, hikers, and climbers, making the coin a great way to celebrate the state's outdoor recreation culture.
