Celebrating the grandeur of Denali National Park and Preserve, this 5 oz silver coin is part of the U.S. Mint's America the Beautiful bullion series. This version is marked with the Philadelphia "P" mintmark and struck in a refined burnished finish, offering a soft matte look that stands apart from the standard bullion issue. The listing includes the original U.S. Mint capsule cap only, making it ideal for collectors replacing or upgrading their coin packaging.
Historical Insight:
Denali, the tallest mountain in North America at over 20,000 feet, has long been a symbol of wilderness and endurance. Established as a national park in 1917 and later expanded, the area protects a vast and dynamic ecosystem. The breathtaking imagery on this coin captures the spirit of adventure and conservation that defines Alaska. Released in 2012 as the final bullion edition of that year's ATB program, this burnished, P-mintmark version stands out for its limited production—a collector-driven issue distinct from the mass-released bullion strikes.
