| Additional information |
The Shawnee National Forest quarter was issued under the America the Beautiful Quarters Program, authorized by Congress in 2008 to run through 2021 — one of the longest-running commemorative coin series in U.S. history, covering 56 sites across all 50 states, Washington D.C., and the five territories. Shawnee was Illinois' sole entry in the program. The forest itself sits atop the southernmost tip of the state, geologically distinct from the glaciated plains above it, and was designated a national forest in 1939.
