Description

The 2020 (P) Burnished American Samoa National Park 5 oz Silver Quarter is a special strike quarter struck at the Philadelphia Mint, part of the 5 oz. America the Beautiful Silver Quarters 2010 to Date series. The obverse features George Washington facing left, based on a 1786 bust by Jean-Antoine Houdon. The reverse shows a mother Samoan fruit bat and her pup hanging from a branch. Inscriptions: NATIONAL PARK, AMERICAN SAMOA, 2020 and E PLURIBUS UNUM. Struck in 99.9% silver, weighing 155.52 grams, 76.2 mm in diameter, with a lettered edge. Cataloged as PCGS #813159. America the Beautiful Silver Quarters are bullion versions of the circulating ATB quarters, struck in five troy ounces of .999 fine silver at three inches in diameter. Among the most imposing coins in the U.S. Mint's portfolio. Burnished and uncirculated versions with vapor-blasted finish are especially collectible. The series parallels the circulating ATB program from 2010 to 2021.
