The 2015 ATB Saratoga Silver coin honors the American victory at the Battle of Saratoga in New York state during the Revolutionary War. The first major American victory of the war, General Gates’ success helped convince the French to support the American cause, providing vital assistance and supplies to the cause.

America the Beautiful is a 56-coin series from the United States Mint inspired by the success of the state quarters program. The series consists of five new releases each year, with the program representing each of the 50 states and the five overseas territories of the US.

On the obverse of this coin is the common theme found on all ATB coins, that of President George Washington. He is featured in left-profile relief, as on the circulation quarter, and is accompanied by the coin’s face value, weight, and metal content.

The reverse features the unique Saratoga design for the state of New York. You can see General Burgoyne handing his sword to General Gates in a sign of surrender on this face, along with engravings denoting the state, moment represented, and the year of issue.
