Produced by the esteemed US Mint, the America the Beautiful coin series commemorates the diverse landscapes and historical events that have shaped the nation’s identity. Each coin, although featuring varied themes, pays homage to the United States in its unique way. The inaugural series highlights the country’s magnificent National Parks.
Initiated during Theodore Roosevelt’s presidency, the National Park System embodies America’s commitment to preserving its natural beauty. As pioneers migrated westward in the late 19th century, a collective desire emerged to conserve and cherish the nation’s vast wilderness. Thus, the groundwork for the National Park System was laid.
Among the plethora of National Parks, Yellowstone stands out as a beacon of natural splendor in Southern Wyoming. Established in the late 1870s, Yellowstone boasts not only historical significance but also unparalleled popularity. With over 3 million visitors annually and spanning over 2 million acres, Yellowstone’s grandeur is undeniable.
The reverse of the 5 oz ATB Yellowstone Silver Coin showcases a lifelike portrayal of an adult Bison against the backdrop of the park’s iconic geyser, Old Faithful. Towering mountains frame the scene, while inscriptions adorn the periphery, including “Yellowstone,” “E Pluribus Unum,” and “Wyoming.” The year of minting, 2010, is also featured.
On the obverse, the coin mirrors the design of a US quarter, featuring George Washington and customary inscriptions. Its face value, $0.25, echoes that of a standard quarter, adding to its historical allure.
