Reverse: The New Hampshire design showcases the Old Man of the Mountain, the state's beloved natural rock formation that stood watch over Franconia Notch for thousands of years. This majestic granite profile, rising 1,200 feet above Profile Lake, became New Hampshire's most recognizable symbol and embodied the state's motto of rugged independence.
