This familiar design provides continuity across the entire America the Beautiful series.

The artistry depicts Lincoln Bridge, a historic stone structure that spans Travertine Creek, along with representations of the area's flowing waters and lush vegetation. Inscriptions of "CHICKASAW," "OKLAHOMA," "2011," and "E PLURIBUS UNUM" frame the design, honoring this special place where mineral-rich springs have attracted visitors seeking healing and renewal since ancient times. The design pays tribute to both the natural beauty and the cultural significance of this land to the Chickasaw people.
