This Brilliant Uncirculated Homestead National Monument of America Five Ounce Silver Bullion Coin is the first of 2015 and the 26th overall in the America the Beautiful Coins Program. The reverse design of this 5 oz silver bullion coin represents the three fundamentals of survival common to all homesteaders: food, shelter and water. Inscriptions are “HOMESTEAD,” “NEBRASKA,” “2015” and “E PLURIBUS UNUM.” Design candidates were developed in consultation with representatives of Homestead National Monument of America.

Established as a national site in 1936, Homestead National Monument of America brings the epic homesteading story of early pioneers to life and demonstrates the true scope and importance of the Homestead Act of 1862. By granting free land, the Homestead Act allowed nearly any man or woman a chance to realize the American dream of owning his or her own land. The uniquely designed Heritage Center was dedicated in 2007 and offers a hilltop vista of the tallgrass prairie much like American pioneers would have seen it.

The 5 oz silver America The Beautiful Coins (ATB’s) all resemble a Washington quarter but are significantly larger (76.20 millimeter diameter) and contain 99.9% silver at a weight of 155.5 grams. Each coin depicts a United States National Park on the reverse and John Flanagan’s 1932 portrait of George Washington on the obverse. Inscriptions on the obverse are UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, LIBERTY, IN GOD WE TRUST, and QUARTER DOLLAR. The edges of these 5 oz silver bullion coins are smooth and contain the incused inscription: .999 FINE SILVER 5.0 OUNCE. The coin will be sent to you in a protective Air-Tite Capsule.
