Historical Significance
Located along Delaware Bay, Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge serves as a critical stopover for migratory birds along the Atlantic Flyway. Established to protect tidal salt marshes and wetlands, the refuge supports hundreds of bird species and plays a vital role in conservation and environmental education.
Collectibility
The 2015-P Bombay Hook Quarter is appreciated for its clean wildlife-focused design and appeal to nature and bird-themed collectors. Circulated examples are common, while uncirculated coins with strong strikes and original luster are preferred for complete date-and-mint sets.
