Saratoga National Historical Park is one of the most vibrant and historically significant locations in the United States. The park preservers the site of the Battles of Saratoga. It was here that the fledgling American military dealt the first serious defeat to the British Army during the Revolutionary War.
America the Beautiful coins were authorized by Congress with passage of the America’s Beautiful National Parks Quarter Dollar Coin Act of 2008. The program authorized the United States Mint to produce a 56-coin series representing the states, districts, and territories of the US with designs of national parks, national forests, and historic monuments.
Each of these 2015 5 oz Colorized ATB Saratoga Silver Coins has been uniquely altered with a colorized finish on the reverse design. The image now features natural hues and tones to give the reverse depiction of General Horatio Gates’ acceptance of the surrender of British forces under General John Burgoyne.
The image of President George Washington, featured on the obverse side of American quarters since 1932, has not been altered and maintains its original coloring, as well as its accompanying engravings.
While the United States Mint produced these coins originally, it does not engage in the colorization of products. Germany’s Emporium Hamburg, a company with 40 years of experience in coin trading, colorized the images on the reverse.
