The America the Beautiful coin series consists of 56 coins in total, representing each of the 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and territories such as American Somoa and Guam. Each coin features its own unique design on the reverse side, while the standard imagery from American quarters is used on the obverse side. Five coins are released each year, with the program scheduled to run through 2021.
On this particular coin, the Shenandoah National Park in Virginia is honored with beautiful imagery modeled after the Blue Ridge and Hawksbill Mountains of Virginia. Roughly 40% of Shenandoah is protected by the National Wilderness Preservation System.
The reverse side of each coin features a lone hiker standing atop a rocky cliff and looking out over the valley. Engravings on this side of the coin include the year of minting below the image, and “Virginia, “Shenandoah,” and “E Pluribus Unum” around the sides.
On the obverse side is the image of the nation’s first president, George Washington, in left-profile relief. The coin’s face value is engraved on this side, along with “United States of America,” “Liberty,” and “In God We Trust.”
The coins in this product listing are available in near-perfect MS69 condition, as graded by the PCGS. Near-perfect coins have their full, original luster, but may contain as many as two minor blemishes or contact marks.
