Historical Significance
Great Basin National Park is known for its ancient bristlecone pines, alpine peaks, limestone caves, and some of the darkest night skies in the contiguous United States. The reverse design captures the park’s isolation and natural wonder, emphasizing both geological time and astronomical beauty.
Collectibility
The 2013-D Great Basin Quarter is favored by collectors for its distinctive night-sky imagery and representation of one of the nation’s least-visited national parks. Circulated examples are common, while well-struck uncirculated coins with strong contrast and luster are sought for complete date-and-mint sets.
