Abstract: Lomonaco and Kauffman introduced a knot mosaic system to give a precise and workable definition of a quantum knot system, the states of which are called quantum knots. This paper is inspired by an open question about the knot mosaic enumeration suggested by them. A knot $n$--mosaic is an $nimesn$ array of 11 mosaic tiles representing a knot or a link diagram by adjoining properly that is called suitably connected. The total number of knot $n$--mosaics is denoted by $D_n$ which is known to grow in a quadratic exponential rate. In this paper, we show the existence of the knot mosaic constant $delta=li{m}_{nightarrowinfty}{D}_n^{frac1n^2}$ and prove that ${\displaystyle }$4 leq delta leq frac{5+ sqrt{13}}{2} (approx 4.303).${\displaystyle }$
