The United States Mint planned three days of events to celebrate the launch of the 2011 Chickasaw National Recreation Area Quarter.

These new coins honor the national site in Sulphur, Oklahoma. The reverse design on the Chickasaw quarter features the Lincoln Bridge over Travertine Creek.

The coin’s design was created by Donna Weaver and engraved by Jim Licaretz.
