The 2019 (W) San Antonio Missions National Park Quarter is a quarter produced at the West Point Mint as part of the America the Beautiful Quarters 2010-2021 series.

The reverse incorporates elements of the Spanish Colonial Real coin with symbols of the missions: wheat, arches and a bell, a lion, and the San Antonio River. The park preserves four 18th-century Spanish frontier missions, the largest concentration of colonial missions in North America. Lowell (MA), American Memorial (MP), War in the Pacific (GU), San Antonio Missions (TX), and Frank Church River of No Return (ID) were released. American Memorial Park (Northern Mariana Islands) honored WWII Pacific Theater veterans.
