Unbranded Silver 1776 Continental Round sku-18465500214

This Unbranded Silver round contains 1 oz of .999 fine silver and reproduces the design of the 1776 Continental Currency dollar. It is listed under Collectible Coins and Bullion as sku-18465500214. The round has no face value. It comes in protective packaging; multiples of 20 are packaged in tubes. One side shows a sundial below the sun, FUGIO, meaning "I fly," and Mind Your Business. The other shows thirteen linked rings named for the original colonies around WE ARE ONE. The design draws on a coin associated with Benjamin Franklin and the Continental Congress. The original was intended to support confidence in Continental paper currency during the Revolutionary War and was struck mainly in pewter, with rare brass and silver examples. Metal shortages and wartime conditions limited circulation, and the paper currency later collapsed through overissue and inflation. Franklin's ideas also appeared on the 1787 Fugio cent. This modern APMEX reproduction is a silver round, not an original Continental coin.You may also like Unbranded Silver Betsy Ross Flag Bar sku-18446469379.
