2014 Shenandoah 5 oz Silver Coin
The second 2014 Five Ounce Silver Uncirculated Coin release in the America the Beautiful series is now available at SilverTowne. This latest release features Shenandoah National Park, located just 75 miles from Washington, D.C. in the state of Virginia.
The Shenandoah National Park is a long and narrow stretch of rolling hills - including the Virginia Piedmont to the east, with the Shenandoah River and Valley to the west. The park lies along the Blue Ridge Mountains, with Hawksbill Mountain being its highest peak. Shenandoah is perhaps best known for Skyline Drive, the 105-mile scenic roadway that spans the entire length of the park along the mountains.
Visitors to Shenandoah National Park enjoy breathtaking views, including many cascading waterfalls located throughout the area. Other activities that visitors partake in are hiking, camping, picnicking, horseback riding and bicycling. The park is also home to many mammals, such as black bears, deer, bobcats and others. Additionally, there are over 200 species of birds within the park borders during different parts of the year, offering ample bird watching opportunities.
The 5oz silver bullion Shenandoah National Park coin is the 22nd issued in the U.S. Mint’s America the Beautiful series. The reverse of the coin features a hiker taking in the view from the overlook high atop of Stony Man trail, one of the most scenic areas of the park. Inscriptions include SHENANDOAH, VIRGINIA, 2014 and E PLURBIS UNUM. This coin’s precise and detailed design is exactly 3 inches in diameter, weighs 5 troy ounces and contains .999 fine silver.
The obverse design is the same as that of the ATB quarters, showing the image of George Washington with the same quarter dollar inscriptions – UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, LIBERTY, IN GOD WE TRUST and QUARTER DOLLAR. Like all 5oz ATB collector versions before it, this release is produced with an uncirculated finish at the Philadelphia US Mint and therefore displays a "P" mint mark. Furthermore, the edge of each coin is incused with the coin’s fineness and weight.
