The San Antonio area is home to a variety of former Catholic missions built as early as the 17th century by Spanish forces conquering the area. The goal of each mission was to provide a home base for monks and priests bringing Christianity to the indigenous people of the New World. The Alamo may be the most famous, but it is not part of the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park.
On the reverse of 2019 5 oz ATB San Antonio Missions National Historical Park Silver Coins is a redesign of Spanish colonial reals. On this side, you’ll find the arches and bell that symbolize community. The lion represents Spanish cultural heritage, while the waves represent the San Antonio River. Wheat in the design symbolizes the area’s farming heritage.
San Antonio Missions National Historical Park is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site designed to preserve four of the five Spanish frontier missions in and around San Antonio. The Alamos is not featured in the park, with the four missions including Mission Concepcion, Mission San Jose, Mission San Juan, and Mission Espada.
