(1969)-FM Silver Medal Pennsylvania States of the Union

Coin Details

Description

This 1969 sterling silver medal depicting Pennsylvania is part of the Franklin Mint's States of the Union series. Pennsylvania, the second state to ratify the Constitution in 1787, is the Keystone State where both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were signed in Philadelphia. The Franklin Mint's home state connection to Pennsylvania made this medal particularly significant, as the mint's Wentworth facility was located within the Commonwealth. Pennsylvania's central role in American founding, its industrial might through the steel era, and its cultural contributions made it one of the most historically rich subjects in the fifty-state series. The medal's design draws upon Pennsylvania's deep colonial and revolutionary heritage to create a fitting tribute to one of the most consequential states in American history.

Rarity Notes

Sterling silver, Franklin Mint limited edition. Pennsylvania medals are common due to the Franklin Mint being headquartered in the state.
