Yellowstone National Park coin bear #2 in current Series of 16

Description

Aside from a few fur trappers, the Yellowstone area was only known to the local Native American tribes. But by the mid 1800’s, many naturalists including a man named F.V. Hayden became concerned that Yellowstone would become too commercialized if not protected by the government.
To this end, he led an expedition complete with a large format photographer into the area to capture the splendor of the scenery. Then, using these photographs he was able to persuade Congress to remove the land from public auction and eventually create Yellowstone National Park.This seemingly insignificant event was, in fact, setting a precedent for the protection of public lands for decades by becoming the first national park ever created.
With the help of (and sometimes exploitation by) the transcontinental railroads, Yellowstone quickly became a tourist attraction drawing thousands of visitors from the East eager to see its rugged beauty and wildlife. Today, over 3 million people visit the park annually, most of whom head straight for a viewing of Old Faithful geyser which erupts at intervals usually between 60 and 90 minutes
Each of the Yellowstone Wyoming quarter bears produced by Limited Treasures has a permanently attached and sealed, National Park quarter of Yellowstone Wyoming on the right foot of this bear. These are brand new, patented, smoke free, and they stand about 9 inches tall. This is the #2 bear in this series and we will be carrying each one as they are released.
