America the Beautiful is a 56-coin release from the United States Mint inspired by the circulation state quarters program. Each new release depicts a different national park, national forest, or other significant monument from a different state in the US. Launched in 2010, the program has five releases annually and will run through 2021, with an option to extend to 2033.
Theodore Roosevelt National Park honors the commitment to conversation and nature of the nation’s 26th president. The park in his name sits on 70,446 acres of land in three different sections of north-central North Dakota, and some of it covers land that President Roosevelt used to live on and hunt on himself.
On the obverse of every ATB Silver Coin is the left-profile portrait of President George Washington, commander of the US Continental Army during the American Revolution and first elected President of the United States.
The reverse of all 2016 5 oz Colorized ATB Theodore Roosevelt National Park Silver Coins has a colorized image of Roosevelt atop his horse as he looks out over the Little Missouri River at a lush, green landscape with pops of red from spring flowers. Only this side of the coin features colorization.
All ATB Silver Coins are originally struck by the United States Mint, which does not colorize any of its products in house. Emporium Hamburg, a third-party authorized dealer in Germany procured these 500 coins for colorization.
