Olympic National Park has a long history as a federally protected land that dates back to 1909 and the administration of President Theodore Roosevelt, considered the leader in the effort to protect Americas natural wonders. He gave the park its original designation as Mount Olympus National Monument in March 1909. In 1938, Congress and his cousin, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, redesignated the monument as a national park. In 1986, UNESCO designated the park an International Biosphere Reserve and in 1981 it was listed as a World Heritage Site.

Obverse

President George Washington is featured on the obverse field of 2011 ATB Olympic 5 oz Silver Coins. This left-profile bust of Washington was created in 1932 by John Flanagan and is based on a bust of Washington first sculpted in 1786. This is the same design that features on the US quarter.

Reverse

A Roosevelt elk, also known by the name Olympic elk, is shown in the foreground of the reverse design on 2011 ATB Olympic 5 oz Silver Coins. This elk, which is the largest of the four remaining subspecies of elk in North America, is shown drinking from the Hoh River as the peak of Mount Olympus looms in the distance.

History

Olympic National Park protects a vast array of ecological systems on the Olympic Peninsula. Contained within the park are four distinct systems that include the Pacific coastline, mountainous alpine areas, a temperate rainforest, and the dry, dense forests of the eastern interior.
