Per the Gettysburg Times:
The general public is invited to attend a special ceremony to celebrate the launch of the new Gettysburg Quarter on Jan. 25 at 11 a.m. The special event will take place in the Gettysburg National Military Park Museum and Visitor Center.
Children under the age of 18 at the event will receive a free Gettysburg Quarter to commemorate the special day.
“We are very happy to be honored with this beautiful new quarter,” said Bob Kirby, Gettysburg Superintendent. “The coin can be a daily reminder of the sacrifices made at Gettysburg and a great way to start a conversation about national parks, national heritage, and the 150th anniversary of the American Civil War.”
The reverse (tails side) of the Gettysburg Quarter features the 72nd Pennsylvania Infantry Monument, which is located on the battle line of the Union Army at Cemetery Ridge on the Gettysburg battlefield.
