Chickasaw National Recreation Area
A resting place in Oklahoma for enjoying water and forest; the reverse bears the Lincoln Bridge.
Chickasaw National Recreation Area is a resting place amid nature in the state of Oklahoma, where clear springs, streams, and forest come together. Just as its name “recreation area” suggests, it is a place where people come to play in the water, take walks, and rest at ease.
The reverse of the coin depicts the “Lincoln Bridge.” It holds the image of a modest stone bridge laid over the water.
The Lincoln Bridge is an old bridge set within this recreation area, and it creates a charming scene in harmony with the walking paths amid nature. This bridge on the coin well shows the atmosphere of this place, where people and nature come together comfortably.
Chickasaw began to be protected on July 1, 1902, and over long years it has guarded clear waters and forest, serving as a resting place for people. Rather than grand scenery, it is a place that holds the comfort of nature enjoyed up close.
When you look at the bridge on the coin, you feel the leisure of crossing the bridge and strolling while listening to the sound of the water. In effect, a small quarter takes you to the charming resting place of Oklahoma.
