Description
This 1976 Franklin Mint medal contains 0.500 troy ounces of gold, produced by the Bicentennial Council of the United States for America's 200th birthday celebration. The American Bicentennial in 1976 generated the largest wave of commemorative production in American history, with every conceivable type of medal, token, and souvenir produced by government, private, and commercial entities. This gold medal from the official Bicentennial Council represents the premium tier of the celebration's numismatic output. At half an ounce of gold, this is a substantial precious metal piece that combines patriotic commemoration with bullion value. The Bicentennial Council was the official body coordinating the national celebration, giving its medals quasi-official status above purely commercial productions.
