The significant amount of pure silver (5 troy ounces) make these coins an attractive investment for investors who want to diversify their portfolios.
Annual 5-Coin Set
With a 5-coin annual release schedule, the number of coins in this series has rapidly expanded to an impressive array over the years.
Large 3-Inch Size and Detail
The large surface areas of these five ounce coins have allowed artists and engravers to unleash their creativity, in beautiful, eye-catching detail – a feat that isn’t possible with smaller coins.
Moreover, if history is any indication, the potential for growth in value is enormous.

The National Park of the American Samoa is 2,600 miles southwest of Hawaii. It is one of the most remote parks in the U.S. National Park System.

The park is home to unique plants, animals, fish, and corals. Bats are the only native mammals found in American Samoa.
