This 5 oz silver coin honors the rugged wilderness of Alaska's Denali National Park, home to North America's highest mountain. As part of the America the Beautiful series, it delivers both stunning design and solid bullion weight in a Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) finish.
Historical Insight:
Denali National Park was established in 1917 to preserve Alaska's breathtaking wilderness and protect its native wildlife. Originally named Mount McKinley National Park, it was later renamed after the region's towering centerpiece, Denali — an Athabascan word meaning "The High One." The mountain stands as the highest peak in North America and has long held cultural, spiritual, and environmental significance. This coin honors more than just geography—it reflects the enduring spirit of exploration, conservation, and the wild beauty of the American frontier. Issued in 2012, it remains a powerful tribute to the vast and untamed heart of Alaska.
