The America the Beautiful Quarters Program was signed into law on December 23, 2008, by President George W. Bush. Like the wildly popular State Quarter Program, it highlights the beauty and diversity of the United States by featuring a National Park or National site from each of the 50 states, the 5 U.S. Territories, and the District of Columbia.

56 Unique Designs

A total of 56 unique designs were issued from 2010 to 2021, representing 48 National Park service areas, 5 National Forests, 1 Wilderness area, and 2 National Wildlife Refuges. Each design was carefully reviewed by a committee and approved by the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury before production.

Classic George Washington Obverse

The obverse of each America the Beautiful Quarter features a restored version of John Flanagan's classic 1932 George Washington portrait created for the Washington Quarter.

5oz Silver Collector Edition

Several versions of the America the Beautiful Quarters were issued, including clad, proof, and silver proof, but the most desirable are the 5oz .9999 fine silver collector editions. To produce these large-format coins, the U.S. Mint imported German-made, high-speed Graebener coin presses capable of producing 1,100 metric tons of pressure, ensuring sharp, detailed designs.

Theodore Roosevelt National Park

This issue celebrates Theodore Roosevelt National Park in the rugged badlands of North Dakota. Spanning more than 70,000 acres, it is the only national park named after a single person. The landscape of buttes, prairies, and river valleys reflects the place where Roosevelt once ranched following the deaths of his wife and mother, an experience that deeply shaped his conservation legacy.
