America the Beautiful Coins
The Salt River Bay National Historical Park and Ecological Preserve Silver ATB coin is the 53rd release of 56 coins in the America the Beautiful Silver coin series. Also called America the Beautiful quarters, these coins are sought after by investors for their .999 fine Silver content and desired by collectors for their artistic value. The America the Beautiful 5 oz Silver coin series began in 2010 to commemorate national parks from each U.S. state and territory. The U.S. Mint does not sell its bullion coins directly to the public.
Salt River Bay National Historical Park and Ecological Preserve
The Salt River Bay National Historical Park and Ecological Preserve can be found on the north side of the island of St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Important plant and animal habitat as well as many historical and archaeological locations are preserved by the park. Also within the park is Fort Salé, the only known site where members of a Columbus expedition landed. This earthworks fortification was erected during French Occupation around 1617 and an ancient Mesoamerican ball court is also preserved within the park. Mangrove forests and the marine habitat of several threatened and endangered species are also protected within the preserve and the bay itself is one of two bioluminescent bays on the island of St. Croix. Visitors come to see the bioluminescent bay, the historical sites and scuba dive through the underwater Salt River Canyon. Congress established the park on February 24, 1992.
