Each of the 2015-P 5 oz Burnished Silver ATB Bombay Hook Silver Coins is available to you with its original US Mint display box and a Certificate of Authenticity. The Burnished ATB Silver Coins are produced by the Philadelphia Mint rather than the West Point Mint and feature “P” mint marks on their surface.
The Burnished ATB Silver Coins also have a distinct finish compared to their bullion counterparts. The blanks used in production are vapor-blasted to produce a matte finish on the coins, giving them a visual finish that is less shiny than the bullion versions of the coin.
On the reverse of the 2015-P 5 oz Burnished ATB Bombay Hook Silver Coins is the image of two of the many different species that call Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge home while migrating up and down the eastern seaboard. The birds featured here are the great blue heron in the foreground and a great egret in the background.
Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge covers 15,978 acres of land along the coast in Kent County, Delaware. The refuge was established in March 1937 and offers refuge for migratory birds, as well as a breeding ground for various species of birds moving along the Atlantic Flyway.
The obverse of the 2015-P 5 oz Burnished ATB Bombay Hook Silver Coin includes the left-profile portrait of President George Washington. The first President of the United States of America, Washington is regarded as the most important Founding Father and has featured on the circulation quarter since 1932.
