America’s federal capital city, the District of Columbia is the formal name for the city most know as Washington D.C. The Residence Act of 1790 approved the creation of a capital district located on the Potomac River’s banks on the East Cast of the United States. Named in honor of the nation’s first president, the city was founded in 1791 and actually designed by Washington himself.

As the 2^nd coin in the ATB Series’ 2017 release schedule, the 2017 5 oz ATB Frederick Douglass National Historic Site Silver Coin honors the site in Washington D.C. administered by the National Park Service that preserves the home and estate of Frederick Douglass, an abolitionist and prominent African American in 19^th century America.

The obverse of the ATB Silver Coins from the US Mint features the profile of President George Washington. Just as it appears on the circulation quarter, this left-profile effigy was created in 1932 by John Flanagan.

On the obverse of the 2017 5 oz ATB Frederick Douglass National Historic Site Silver Coin is the image of Frederick Douglass sitting at his desk, pencil and paper in hand. The image of his home is located in the background, which is preserved to this day at the National Historic Site in D.C.

Each 2017 5 oz ATB Frederick Douglass National Historic Site Silver Coin listed here is in BU condition.
