The National Park Service works with the mission to preserve all the national and cultural resources and to value the National Park System for the enjoyment, educational and inspire the future generation. The United States of America had issued this commemorative coin on Glacier National Park; which is located in North-western Montana; in the border of Canada-United States border, which is often called as adjacent to the Canadian provinces of Alberta and British Columbia.

This National Park is spread over 1 million acres which include around two mountain ranges, over 150 lakes and more than 1,000 different species of plants, and hundreds of species of animals. Due to its vast eco-system, it is also referred as "Crown of the Continent" since it sits at the headwaters of the streams that flow into the Pacific Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico and Hudson Bay.
