Craftsmanship: The 5 oz. America the Beautiful Silver Coins represent one of the most ambitious and impressive achievements in modern U.S. coinage. Issued by the United States Mint from 2010 to 2021, these coins are among the largest silver bullion coins ever produced by the Mint, each struck from .999 fine silver and weighing a full five troy ounces. Each coin is a testament to the U.S. Mint’s technical mastery—combining large-scale silver content with sculptural design elements and secure packaging for storage and presentation.

Design Details: The America the Beautiful Silver Coin Series was modeled after the America the Beautiful Quarters Program, and features 56 unique reverse designs—one for each U.S. state, territory, and the District of Columbia. Each reverse highlights a national park, national forest, monument, or historical site of significance. From the towering peaks of Denali to the rugged shores of Acadia, and from the historical grounds of Gettysburg to the serene beauty of Great Smoky Mountains, every coin captures the diverse natural and cultural heritage of the United States. The obverse of every coin features a classic profile of George Washington, based on John Flanagan’s 1932 design for the Washington Quarter. Around the portrait are the inscriptions: “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “LIBERTY,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and “QUARTER DOLLAR.”

Investment and Legacy: The 5 oz. America the Beautiful Silver Coin Series stands at the intersection of collectibility, artistry, and precious metal investment. With a substantial silver content of five troy ounces and guaranteed by the U.S. government for weight and purity, these coins offer solid intrinsic value and serve as an excellent hedge against inflation and economic uncertainty.
