| Reverse description | A detailed pastoral scene depicting a historic log cabin of the Appalachian settlers set against a backdrop of the densely forested ridgelines of Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Tennessee. A split-rail fence occupies the foreground, evoking the park's cultural heritage, while a bird of prey soars in the upper right field above the treeline. The legend GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS arcs along the upper rim, with TENNESSEE inscribed at the lower left and E PLURIBUS UNUM along the lower right. The date 2014 appears in the exergue, with engravers' initials CTC and RG discretely incorporated into the design. |

| Additional information |
The Great Smoky Mountains quarter was the first of five releases in 2014 under the America the Beautiful Quarters Program, authorized by Congress in 2008 to run through 2021. The park itself straddles the Tennessee–North Carolina border, which created a minor bureaucratic question during the selection process: Tennessee submitted it, yet the site is shared. Treasury resolved this by designating coins to the state in which the park's primary visitor infrastructure sits.
Philadelphia and Denver struck the circulation issue; San Francisco handled proof and silver proof versions. The silver proof strikes use a 90% silver planchet distinct from the clad circulation stock.
