1969-FM Medal Boston University Centennial Silver
Strike TypeCoin Details
Description
This 1969 Franklin Mint silver medal commemorates the Boston University Centennial, the premium companion to the bronze version (PCGS #897649). Silver university anniversary medals were typically produced in smaller quantities than bronze versions and distributed to more senior officials, major donors, or sold as premium collectibles. The silver BU centennial medal represents the highest quality production for this institutional celebration. University medals in silver carry both numismatic and sentimental value, as alumni collectors often prize them both for their precious metal content and for their personal connection to their alma mater. The Franklin Mint's dual bronze-and-silver production model for institutional medals was standard practice, offering clients both an affordable broadly distributed piece and a premium limited edition.
