The obverse of the 2020 Tall grass Prairie National Preserve Quarter shows the standard Washington Quarter design with a few alterations. The Washington Quarter, that ran from 1932-1998, had the date on the obverse, as well as the word “Liberty.” This design was changed slightly with the introduction of the State Quarters, and later the Territory Quarters and National Park Quarters. The new design still shows Washington looking left, however the obverse text now reads “United States of America – Liberty – In God We Trust – Quarter Dollar.” The reverse text of the coin reads “Tall grass Prairie – Kansas – 2020 – E Pluribus Unum.” All of the circulation United States National Park Quarters were clad, meaning that they were seventy-five to eighty percent copper, and the rest was composed of nickel. The core of the coins were solid copper. These coins, however, were produced in silver for special Silver Proof Sets. The coins minted in 2020 included American Samoa, Weir Farm, Salt River Bay, Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller, and Tall grass Prairies.
