America the Beautiful coins were first introduced in 2010 with the release of the Hot Springs National Park coin. Each year the US Mint produces five coins, with each one representing a different state or territory within the United States. The coin series is scheduled to run through 2021, and when complete it will represent each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the five territories of the US.
This particular coin celebrates Chickasaw National Recreation Area in the southern portion of Oklahoma. Registered as a national park for more than century, the area draws countless visitors each year to its cool, flowing rivers and bubbling hot springs. The region is named after the Chickasaw Indian tribe which helped established the region as a national park.
On the reverse side of the coin is the image of a stone-arch bridge spanning a calm river. A flock of birds is visible flying in a V formation overhead, while a forest of trees rises up on either side. Engravings include “Oklahoma,” “Chickasaw,” and “E Pluribus Unum.”
The obverse side of the coin features a left-profile bust of President George Washington. Similar to a standard quarter, the coin includes the phrases “United States of America,” “Liberty,” and “In God We Trust.”
The United States Mint produced a total of 48,700 of these Chickasaw coins, with a very small portion qualifying as MS69 coins. Each coin in this listing is in near-perfect condition, with its original mint luster and no more than two detracting marks visible.
