The words “SAN ANTONIO MISSIONS,” “TEXAS,” “2019” and “E PLURIBUS UNUM.” are emblazoned on the coin’s reverse.
The coin’s reverse was designed by Chris Costello and engraved by United States Mint Chief Engraver Joe Mena.
Watch below as Chief Engraver of the U.S. Mint Joe Menna and artist Chris Costello describe the engraving process of the 2019 San Antonio Missions Quarter.
The San Antonio Missions National Park was established in 1978 and contains the Missions San José, San Juan, Espada, and Concepción, dating back to the early 1700’s. The purpose of the missions was to convert the local Indian population to Christianity as part of Spain’s colonization process.
On the Front of the Coin
The ATB silver bullion coins look like giant quarters and even bear a face value of a “quarter dollar”, though the five ounces of silver contained in the coins makes them worth far more.

The United States Mint quickly Sold Out of the Five ATB Bullion Coins in the 2017 and 2018 Series.
BGASC.com sold out quickly of all five coins in the 2017 and 2018 ATB series and unfortunately, can no longer offer those coins.
Because of their limited mintages and popularity with collectors, ATB coins often trade at substantial premium in the after-market.

About The America The Beautiful Coin Series
The America The Beautiful five ounce silver coins were authorized in 2008 under Public Law 110-456. The ATB coins are five ounces of .999 fine silver and are exact replicas of the designs of the America the Beautiful quarters ($.25) minted for general circulation. The ATB five ounce silver coins even have stamped on them “quarter dollar” on the obverse. ATB five ounce coins are the first five ounce silver coins ever produced by the U.S. Mint.
Each year since 2010, the U.S. Mint has produced five different designs of America the Beautiful coins. The reverse of the ATB coins features various depictions of U.S. National Parks or other national sites. The obverse of the ATB coins looks like a U.S. quarter featuring a portrait of George Washington. Indeed, the ATB series includes U.S. quarters intended for general circulation with face values of twenty five cents that are produced in the same design as their five ounce silver commemorative counterparts.
The ATB quarter program is a 12-year initiative that will honor 56 national parks and other national sites by 2020.
Because of their limited mintages, the ATB silver coins often sell out quickly and in later years sell for higher premiums over the value of their silver bullion content.
