The US Mint recently released an amazing, 3 inch wide, 5 ounce 99.5% silver version of the Florida quarter in the America the Beautiful Quarters Program.

Everglades National Park is the largest subtropical wilderness in the United States, and is home to many rare and endangered species like the manatee, American crocodile and the Florida panther. On the reverse of the coin are two birds found throughout the Everglades, an Anhinga with outstretched wings and a Roseate spoonbill.

The coin retails for $155 , and is a perfect gift for the Everglades lover, coin collector or both!
