The set, priced at $13.95, contains two uncirculated–quality Yellowstone National Park quarters–one each from the United States Mint facilities at Philadelphia and Denver–and one proof–quality coin from the United States Mint at San Francisco. The coins are mounted on a durable plastic card and include a brief description of the national park and the coin design, as well as a Certificate of Authenticity on the back.

The reverse of the Yellowstone National Park quarter was designed and sculpted by United States Mint Sculptor–Engraver Don Everhart. It features the Old Faithful geyser with a mature bull bison in the foreground. The coin's obverse–common to all America the Beautiful Quarters® coins–features the 1932 portrait of George Washington by John Flanagan, restored to bring out subtle details and the beauty of the original model.
