| Additional information |
The America the Beautiful silver bullion series, launched in 2010, paired each five-ounce strike with a circulating clad quarter of identical reverse design — an unusual dual-format program with no real precedent in U.S. mint history. The National Park of American Samoa quarter was among the final cohort issued before the series concluded, with the bullion strikes produced at Philadelphia and sold through the mint's authorized purchaser network rather than directly to the public.
American Samoa's inclusion required congressional action specifically broadening the program beyond the fifty states to incorporate territories, a legislative detail that distinguishes this and four other territorial issues from the rest of the 56-coin run.
