| Additional information |
Mount Rushmore was carved between 1927 and 1941 under sculptor Gutzon Borglum, who died eight months before its completion — his son Lincoln finished the project. The site was chosen partly for its southeastern exposure, maximizing daylight hours for the carving crews. Borglum originally planned a more elaborate entablature and a Hall of Records hollowed into the mountain behind the faces; neither was completed.
Samoa's prolific large-format silver program has issued dozens of landmark-themed pieces in this 5-troy-ounce format for the collector market since the 2010s, produced under license arrangements with private minting houses rather than domestic striking capacity.
