The America the Beautiful series stands as one of the most ambitious modern programs from the U.S. Mint, celebrating America’s natural wonders and historical landmarks. This issue pays tribute to the grandeur of the Grand Canyon—one of the most iconic landscapes in the world.
Reverse
The reverse design offers an immersive view from within the canyon itself, emphasizing the dramatic curves and towering walls carved over millions of years by the Colorado River. The composition captures both the immense scale and serene beauty of the canyon, with inscriptions reading “Grand Canyon,” “Arizona,” “E Pluribus Unum,” and the year “2010.”
The inspiration behind this series traces back to the conservation legacy championed by Theodore Roosevelt, whose appreciation for America’s natural beauty helped establish the foundation of the national park system. The Grand Canyon coin reflects that enduring vision, preserving one of the nation’s most extraordinary landscapes in fine silver.
