| Reverse description | The reverse presents a richly detailed allegorical composition intended to celebrate the cultural diversity of America's national parks. The central motif is a Latina Folklórico dancer depicted in dynamic motion, her flowing costume rendered with fine engraving. She holds a ribbon bearing the inscription HERITAGE · CULTURE · PRIDE. The National Park Service arrowhead logo is overlaid upon the dancer's figure, uniting the cultural and institutional imagery. The peripheral legend reads UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and E PLURIBUS UNUM, with the denomination $1 also inscribed in the field. |

| Additional information |
Congress authorized this coin under the National Park Service Centennial Act of 2014, which mandated that surcharges from sales fund the endowment of the National Park Foundation. The NPS itself was established by the Organic Act of August 25, 1916 — signed by Woodrow Wilson after decades of piecemeal park legislation had left Yellowstone, Yosemite, and a dozen other reserves without unified federal management.
Collector reception was lukewarm enough that mintage came in well below authorized limits.
