<p>[QUOTE="Phil Ham, post: 3700930, member: 5787"]The San Antonio Missions National Historical Park puck went on sale on 26 August 2019, and the mint sold just 12,169 in the first week of sales. It is the 49th puck in the ATB series. Other pucks continue to have weak sales and this release has surprisingly not generated much interest in this program. I would like to dispel the rumor that the Texas puck is bigger than the others. Apparently, everything isn't bigger in Texas as it is the same size and weight as the others. Other pucks available at the mint include the Cumberland Island, Block Island, Lowell, American Memorial Park, and War in the Pacific pucks. I rate the design of the latest puck as average. I liked the design of the earlier 2019 pucks better than this one. Here is some information on the puck from the mint website.</p><p><br /></p><p>"The San Antonio Missions National Historical Park (Texas) is the fourth release of 2019 in the America the Beautiful Quarters Program. This reverse (tails) design depicts elements of the Spanish Colonial Real coin to pay tribute to the missions. Within the quadrants are symbols of the missions: wheat symbolizes farming; the arches and bell symbolize community; a lion symbolizes Spanish cultural heritage; and a symbol of the San Antonio River symbolizes irrigation methods and life-sustaining resources. Inscriptions are “SAN ANTONIO MISSIONS,” “TEXAS,” “2019,” and “E PLURIBUS UNUM.” The San Antonio Missions made up one of the largest concentrations of Spanish missions in North America during the 1700s and helped create the foundation for the city of San Antonio. The missions were built as walled compounds containing the church, living quarters, workshops, storerooms, and fortified towers. The blending of cultures is reflected in the 18th century Spanish architecture and the indigenous designs. The missions were built close together because of the natural resources found near the San Antonio River. Construction of aqueducts and irrigation canals (acequias) brought water to the missions, sustaining farming and ranching. The missions’ toolmaking, carpentry, looming, spinning, and masonry further contributed to the community’s ability to be self-sustaining. The missions are surrounded by residential and commercial areas, demonstrating both their modern-day success and unbroken connection with the past."</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]991819[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
