- The reverse of the Northern Mariana Islands Territory quarter shows a large limestone latte on the shoreline, two birds known as white fairy terns flying overhead, along with some palm trees in the background.
- The 6 quarters released in 2009 were the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Northern Mariana Islands.
- Sovereign coin minted at the U.S. Mint and backed by the United States government with a face value of $0.25.
The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), is a commonwealth in political union with the United States, occupying a strategic region of the western Pacific Ocean. It consists of fourteen islands about three-quarters of the way from Hawaii to the Philippines. The United States reports the total land area of all islands as about 183 square miles.
The Northern Mariana Islands have a population of about 54,000 according to a 2010 census count. Only three of the fourteen islands, Saipan, Tinian, and Rota have a significant population. The islands of Agrihan and Alamagan have fewer than ten residents, and the remaining ten islands are largely unpopulated.
