Silver bullion investors (along with commemorative collectors) can now purchase the much-anticipated Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park America the Beautiful Coins, each containing 5-Ounces of .999 Pure Silver. Conveniently available at Provident Metals, this 2012 ATB is dedicated to Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park, which boasts some of the most massive and active volcanoes on earth.

Created over the course of several millennia, Volcanoes National Park has allured and intrigued onlookers for as long as people have lived there, and today, more than 1.5 million tourists visit the park each year. Originally named Hawaii National Park, President Wilson set aside the 323,431 acres of land in 1916, making it the United States’ eleventh National Park, the first to be established in a territory (Hawaii was officially made a state in 1959).

Volcanoes National Park contains two active volcanoes: K?lauea–one of the earth’s most active volcanoes–and Mauna Loa, the world’s largest. And because Kilauea has continually erupted since 1983, millions of cubic yards of lava have made their way to the ocean’s floor, literally adding landmass to the island. Based on the park’s exciting scientific and historical value, it was christened an International Biosphere Reserve in 1980 and a UNESCO World Heritage Site seven years later.

The 14th ATB Silver Bullion Coin issued by the US Mint (the fourth in 2012), Hawai’i Volcanoes is just one in a series that commemorates fifty-six national parks, forests and monuments–one from each state, the District of Columbia and five US territories. The coin’s impressive reverse was designed and sculpted by Charles L. Vickers, portraying an eruption on the eastern rift of the great Kilauea volcano. The obverse of each ATB features John Flanagan’s 1932 portrait of President George Washington.

Whether to diversify your holdings or to purchase a coin that honors one of Hawaii’s greatest natural treasures, Silver Bullion ATBs are a simple, affordable way to invest in your family’s future.
