American Memorial Park
American Memorial Park is located on the island of Saipan in the Northern Mariana Islands, and features 133 acres of beautiful beaches, wetlands, and mangrove forests. The park was established in 1978 as a living memorial to the Americans and Marianas who lost their lives during the Marianas Campaign of June and July 1944. This campaign proved crucial in the Pacific war, giving U.S. forces a foothold against Japanese positions throughout the south Pacific and allowing for the construction of airfields within flight range of the Japanese mainland, but came at the cost of over 8,000 Allied lives. The heroic sacrifice of these individuals is memorialized with several monuments throughout the park, including the Memorial Court of Honor and Flag Circle, the Marianas Memorial, and the Saipan American Memorial and Carillon.
Issuing 5 oz Silver American Memorial Park Coins
The 5 oz Silver American Memorial Park coins, part of the America the Beautiful series, are only issued for one year, corresponding to the same year the matching, circulated quarter design is also struck. The coins can only be sold by the U.S. Mint's network of licensed bullion dealers, ensuring anyone who purchases an American Memorial Park coin from an authorized dealer is getting one of the most impressive coins made.
All coins from the ATB series have an obverse depicting George Washington in a rendering made by John Flanagan for the 1932 Washington Quarter. The 2019 America the Beautiful series offers five different designs on the reverse, each paying homage to a national park or historic site. The reverse of this unique coin features the natural beauty of the American Memorial Park, located in the Northern Mariana Islands.
Designing American Memorial Park ATB Silver Coins
The American Memorial Park ATB Silver coins are sure to be one of the most-talked-about United States Mint bullion products released this year. Like the other four designs chosen for 2019, each celebrates essential locations in the history of the United States that have been memorialized as National Parks. The National Park System was created through legislation initiated by President Theodore Roosevelt. Through an act of Congress, Roosevelt was allowed to protect and highlight several historic sites and natural landmarks.
This tradition of preservation is perfect for inclusion on a series of collectible, investment quality coins. While each American Memorial Park coin has a face value of a quarter dollar, the 5 oz of Silver contained within is worth a great deal more. Those who have traveled to American Memorial Park are sure to enjoy the graceful imagery used on the reverse.
2019 5 oz American Memorial Park Silver coins honor the people who gave their lives during World War II’s Marianas Campaign.
