1966-FM Medal Battle of the Alamo Silver

Coin Details

Description

This 1966 Franklin Mint silver medal commemorates the Battle of the Alamo — one of the most iconic events in American history. The siege and fall of the Alamo in San Antonio, Texas, in March 1836, where approximately 200 Texan defenders were killed by a vastly larger Mexican army under General Santa Anna, became a rallying cry for Texan independence. "Remember the Alamo" remains one of the most recognized battle cries in American culture. The Franklin Mint produced this silver medal as part of its growing catalog of American historical commemoratives during the mid-1960s, a period when the mint was rapidly expanding its product line. Silver was the standard premium composition for Franklin Mint historical medals, providing both numismatic collectibility and precious metal value to subscribers.
