Historical Significance
Established in 1988, the National Park of American Samoa protects tropical rainforests, coral reefs, volcanic landscapes, and unique wildlife found throughout the Samoan Islands. The Samoan fruit bat, featured on the reverse, plays a critical role in pollinating plants and dispersing seeds throughout the islands’ ecosystems.
Collectibility
With a collector mintage of just 16,019 pieces, the 2020-P American Samoa ranks among the lower-mintage issues in the America the Beautiful 5 oz series. Its distinctive fruit bat design generated significant attention when released and has become one of the most recognizable modern quarter and ATB designs. Combined with its low mintage and original Mint packaging, it remains a popular choice among collectors completing a Philadelphia-mint ATB set.
