America the Beautiful - National Park of American Samoa 5 Ounce .999 Silver

America The Beautiful Silver Coin (ATB Coin) - National Park of American Samoa 

The National Park of American Samoa is unique. No other National Park spreads across parts of three islands and offers the plant life, wildlife, and landscapes of the South Pacific. It is the only site managed by the National Park Service located south of the equator. The Park was established in 1988, but it wasn't until 1993 that the US government secured a 50-year lease with eight participating native villages. The traditional communal lands of the Samoan inhabitants could not be purchased by US officials.

Visitors to the park will find rainforests, coral reefs, volcanic mountains, and plenty of archaeological sites rich with the native people's history. They will also find wildlife, including wonders such as the flying fox.

The 5-ounce America the Beautiful coin which commemorates the park features a Samoan fruit bat mother with her young.

The coin's reverse (or tails) side features the Samoan fruit bat - a mother bat with a young pup.  The coin is the first of 5 designs in the ATB series issued by the US Mint in 2020.  The National Park of American Samoa is among the most recent additions to the National Park System. The inscriptions on the reverse read "National Park," "American Samoa," "E Pluribus Unum," and "2020."

The obverse carries the familiar coin portrait of George Washington - the portrait featured on current Washington quarters. The inscriptions on this side include "The United States of America," "Liberty," "In God We Trust," and, "Quarter Dollar."

The coins are packaged by the US Mint in tubes of 10 coins. A full Mint box contains 10 tubes for a total of 500 ounces. The weight and purity (.999 Fine Silver, 5 Ounces) of the coin inscribed on the coin's rim are guaranteed by the US government.
