New Hampshire State Quarters New Hampshire State Quarters are the ninth variety in a series of fifty design changes over a ten year period from 1999 to 2008. This Quarter was released into circulation on June 21, 2000. The reverse of the coin shows a 40 foot rocky outcrop on Cannon Mountain in Northern New Hampshire. On May 3, 2003 the outcrop called "Old Man of the Mountain" sadly came crumbling down and became a victim of erosion. The coin now becomes the first to show something that was in existence when the coin was struck, and now does not exist.
The obverse of the coin is identical on all coins in this series. It features a portrait of George Washington with the inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA", "QUARTER DOLLAR", "LIBERTY" and "IN GOD WE TRUST" arranged around the portrait. The reverse of the coin bears the inscriptions "NEW HAMPSHIRE 1788", "LIVE FREE OR DIE", "OLD MAN OF THE MOUNTAIN" and "E PLURIBUS UNUM" along with the date of 2000.
