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 rainforest, 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.
