America the Beautiful Silver Bullion (United States)
Face Value: 0.25 U.S. dollar
Diameter: 76.2 mm (3.0 in)
Composition: 99.9% Ag
Years of Minting: 2010–present

The America the Beautiful Silver Bullion Coins will be a series of silver bullion coins with a face value of a quarter dollar. The coins will be exact duplicates—though enlarged—of each of the America the Beautiful Quarters. They will be issued by the United States Mint from 2010 until at least 2021 and will be available for sale during the year in which their corresponding circulating coin is issued. The coins will be distributed by the United States Mint's network of authorized bullion dealers and also may be resold at the discretion of the Director of the National Park Service.

The coins will contain five troy ounces of silver making them the largest silver bullion coins ever issued by the United States Mint. The program is authorized by Title II of the America’s Beautiful National Parks Quarter Dollar Coin Act of 2008.[1]

The obverse of all the coins will depict George Washington in a restored version of the original portrait used for the 1932 Washington Quarter but there will be five new reverse designs each year (one in 2021) each depicting a national park or national site (one from each state, the federal district, and each territory).
