Minted mostly in silver-rich Mexico, the Spanish 8 Reales were the most popular silver dollars used within the 13 Colonies. Thomas Jefferson recommended that this trusted Spanish coin be adopted as an official U.S. silver dollar - and it remained legal tender in the U.S. until 1857! The pillar and scroll design is even believed to be the inspiration for our dollar sign ($).
Dated 1775, this genuine silver artifact allows you to literally hold history in your hands! Since these coins were circulated throughout the years of the American Revolution, you have to ask yourself: Could this coin have been held by George Washington or Benjamin Franklin? Could it have been in Philadelphia with Thomas Jefferson? Could Paul Revere have used this dollar to purchase supplies for his silversmithing business?
In fact, this coin was minted the same year as Paul Revere’s Midnight Ride, the Battle of Bunker Hill, and saw George Washington named as Commander & Chief of the Continental Army. Think of this: if the legendary story of George Washington throwing a silver dollar across the Potomac River is indeed true, then it is very likely that it was one of these Spanish Silver Dollars that made the trip!!
Due to the extreme scarcity of this 1775 date, owning this hard-to-find authentic silver artifact is a privilege only possible for a select few in the world. We invite you to obtain your 1775 ‘Founding Fathers’ Silver Dollar today!
