2017 Colorized ATB Effigy Mounds 5 oz Silver Coins come from the United States Mints bullion release of the Iowa coin in 2017. A small number of these coins have been allocated by a third party for the addition of a colorized lacquer on the reverse design elements. This does not alter the value of the coin or impact its silver content. It merely adds color to the design elements for a unique impression.

Obverse

On the obverse side of the 2017 Colorized ATB Effigy Mounds 5 oz Silver Coin is a portrait of President George Washington in left-profile relief. Designed in 1932 by John Flanagan, this bust of the president has been on the circulation quarter since that time and was adapted for use on the ATB Series.

Reverse

The reverse face of 2017 Colorized ATB Effigy Mounds 5 oz Silver Coins includes an aerial view of the effigy dirt mounds constructed in Iowa. These particular mounds take the shape of a horse, bear, and bird, and come from the so-called Marching Bear group within the monument park.

Colorized lacquer has been applied to this field of the coin to recreate the appearance of the image as it would be viewed in real life. As such, the primary colorization added is a rich green to the grassy mounds. The wooded region in the background has a deeper shade of green while the distant horizon offers a blue sky with white clouds.

History

The United States Mint does not colorize its own coins. These particular bullion versions of the 2017 ATB Effigy Mounds 5 oz Silver Coin were purchased by a third party and that vender applied the colorized lacquer, as well as provided the presentation case and Certificate of Authenticity.
