| Reverse description | The reverse features a design commemorating Cumberland Island National Seashore in Georgia, depicting a snowy egret standing in a coastal salt marsh, rendered in fine detail against a naturalistic background. The bird's distinctive plumage and elegant posture are highlighted in the high-relief strike characteristic of the five-ounce bullion series. The inscription CUMBERLAND ISLAND arcs along the upper periphery, with GEORGIA positioned below. The date 2018 appears in the lower field, and the national motto E PLURIBUS UNUM is inscribed along the lower rim. |

| Additional information |
Cumberland Island, Georgia's largest barrier island, was acquired by the National Park Service in 1972 after decades of ownership by the Carnegie family, whose ruined mansion Dungeness still stands on the island's southern end. The island remains accessible only by ferry, with private vehicle access prohibited entirely — an unusual management decision that has kept it among the least-visited units in the National Park system despite its size.
This five-ounce silver piece belongs to the America the Beautiful bullion series, struck at Philadelphia and San Francisco depending on finish. The collector versions carry an 'P' or 'S' mint mark; the bullion strikes do not.
