The Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge’s representatives participated in choosing the design for this coin, part of a series of commemorative coins showcasing great American landmarks. The sixteen thousand acres of Bombay Hook form one of the most important wetlands environments on the American continent, providing food and shelter for countless thousands of migrating birds every year.
On the reverse, the coin carries an image of that landscape that features a great blue heron in the foreground and an egret in the background. Around the edge, it bears the inscriptions “BOMBAY HOOK,” “DELAWARE,” “2015,” and “E PLURIBUS UNUM.”
The obverse side features a profile portrait of George Washington, the same image seen on circulation quarters for the last eight decades. It carries the inscriptions “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “LIBERTY,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and “QUARTER DOLLAR.”
