| Reverse description | The reverse depicts El Capitan, the massive granite monolith rising dramatically above Yosemite Valley, rendered in fine detail against an open sky. The design, engraved by Phebe Hemphill and Joseph Menna, captures the sheer vertical face of the cliff with naturalistic precision. The inscription YOSEMITE arcs above the central motif, with CALIFORNIA below, flanked by the engravers' initials PH and JFM. The date 2010 appears in the lower field, and the national motto E PLURIBUS UNUM is inscribed along the lower rim. |
