| Reverse description | The reverse depicts the facade of the Fordyce Bathhouse, which serves as the headquarters of Hot Springs National Park in Arkansas, with a decorative fountain prominently rendered in the foreground. The design, engraved by Don Everhart from the artistry of Joseph Menna (JFM), captures the classical Beaux-Arts architectural style of the building. The inscriptions HOT SPRINGS and ARKANSAS frame the central design, with the date 2010 appearing in the lower field. The national motto E PLURIBUS UNUM is inscribed within the design, and the privy mark DE and designer's initials JFM are present. |

| Additional information |
Hot Springs National Park, established in 1832 as a federal reservation, is the oldest unit in what would eventually become the National Park Service — predating Yellowstone by forty years. The quarter was issued as part of the America the Beautiful series, which Congress authorized in 2008 to run through 2021, cycling five new designs annually across U.S. territories and national parks.
Proof examples of the .900 silver composition were struck at San Francisco. The 2010 silver proof set had a mintage of just over 585,000 — modest by modern U.S. proof standards.
