This Brilliant Uncirculated Apostle Islands (Wisconsin) 5 oz Silver America The Beautiful .999 Fine Bullion Coin is the second of 2018 and the 42nd overall in the America the Beautiful Coins Program. The reverse design of this silver bullion coin depicts the sea caves at Devils Island with the lighthouse in the background and a kayaker paddling in the foreground.

Wisconsin’s Apostle Islands National Lakeshore was established in 1970 to protect “certain significant islands, shoreline, and light stations of the U.S. and their related geographic, scenic, historic, and scientific values.” The park includes 21 islands in Lake Superior and a 12-mile-long strip of mainland shoreline encompassing more than 69,000 acres. The park features pristine stretches of sand beaches and coves; spectacular sea caves; remnant old-growth upper forests; a diverse population of birds, mammals, amphibians, and fish; and a number of lighthouses and lighthouse complexes.
