The 2023 Libertas Americana One-Ounce Silver Coin

A stunning re-creation of Benjamin Franklin’s historic medal…

• One of only 3,000, the 2023 proof silver Libertas Americana coin replicates Franklin’s 1782 French medal paying tribute to America’s friendship with France.
• Struck in one troy ounce of 99.9% pure silver by France’s Monnaie de Paris, the oldest continuously running mint in the world, it has a face value of 20 euros.
• Now more than 240 years old, the original silver medals are extremely rare and have been known to sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars at auction!
• The front features America’s Liberty with a Phrygian cap, symbolizing freedom, and the inscription “4 Juil. 1776” — the date of U.S. independence in French.
• The back depicts France, represented by the goddess Minerva, fending off a leopard symbolizing the British; Hercules as a baby represents a young America.
• Bears the victory dates of Saratoga and Yorktown and a Latin inscription, “Non sine diis animosus infans” (the infant is not bold without the aid of the gods).
• Protectively encapsulated in a crystal-clear holder to allow viewing of every detail, front and back, and presented in its original government packaging.
• Includes an informative Collector Card providing narrative about the coin and its ties to Franklin and the American Revolution.
