Silver Five Ounces 2019 War in the Pacific, Coin from United States - detailed information

This coin is part of the America the Beautiful silver bullion coins (abbreviated ATB) - a series of 56 silver bullion coins with a face value of a quarter dollar. The coins in the series contain 5oz (five troy ounces) of silver, making them the largest silver bullion coins issued to date by the United States Mint. The design of the coins duplicates exactly - though much enlarged - each of the America the Beautiful quarters. They were issued from 2010 to 2021.

All coins in the series feature a common obverse depicting George Washington in a restored version of the portrait created by John Flanagan for the 1932 Washington quarter, while the reverses feature five individual designs for each year of the program (one in 2021), each depicting a national park or national site - one from each state, federal district, and territory.

The War in the Pacific National Historical Park quarter design is the third to be released in 2019 and the 48th overall in the America the Beautiful Quarters Program; it was released on 3 June 2019 and represents the US territory of Guam.

The westernmost park of all the National Park Service sites, Guam’s War in the Pacific National Historical Park honours the bravery, courage, and sacrifice of those participating in the campaigns of the Pacific Theatre during World War II. The park also conserves and interprets a variety of amazing resources found on the Island of Guam. War in the Pacific National Historical Park has the highest biological diversity of any national park, with both underwater and land areas.
