Historical Context: Issued by the United States in 2019, this 1/4 Dollar 'Washington Quarter' is a 5 oz silver bullion piece from the 'America the Beautiful Quarters Program'. Launched in 2010, this series honored national parks and historical sites across the U.S. This specific coin celebrates the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park in Texas, a UNESCO World Heritage site, functioning as a collector and investment vehicle rather than circulating currency.
Artistry: The obverse features John Flanagan's classic profile of George Washington. The reverse, designed by Chris Costello and sculpted by Joseph Menna, depicts the granary and bell tower of Mission San José, framed by a prickly pear cactus. This composition effectively captures the park's distinctive architectural and natural elements, reflecting a modern realistic stylistic school typical of contemporary U.S. commemorative coinage.
Technical/Grading: This substantial piece, KM#704, is struck from .999 fine silver, weighing 155.5 grams (5 troy ounces) and measuring 76.2 millimeters. High-points for strike assessment include Washington's hair details on the obverse and the architectural lines of Mission San José's bell tower and granary on the reverse. As a bullion issue, these coins typically exhibit a strong, full strike with excellent detail and brilliant luster, ensuring consistent quality.
