2010 5 oz Silver ATB Hot Springs National Park, AR

---

In 2010, a remarkable series of large-format silver coins commenced, celebrating the diverse natural wonders of the United States. This impressive five-ounce silver piece highlights Hot Springs National Park in Arkansas, a sanctuary of geothermal waters that was officially established by a congressional act on April 20, 1832. Struck in brilliant uncirculated condition, the coin is composed of 0.999 fine silver, with its substantial weight and high purity incised directly along its flat edge. The reverse side of the coin presents a detailed scene featuring the grand headquarters building of Hot Springs National Park, fronted by an active thermal fountain. This detailed engraving is framed by the inscriptions "Hot Springs", "Arkansas", "2010", and the traditional national motto "E Pluribus Unum". On the obverse, the coin displays a familiar design bearing the standard quarter dollar inscriptions. Surrounding the central portrait are the words "United States of America", "Liberty", "In God We Trust", and the denomination "Quarter Dollar". This five-ounce issue offers a unique, oversized canvas that brings the intricate details of the historic park architecture and landscape to life.
