Description

This 1976 Franklin Mint medal contains 0.500 troy ounces of gold, featuring Independence Hall — the Philadelphia building where both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were debated and adopted. Independence Hall is one of the most symbolically important structures in American history, and its depiction on a gold Bicentennial medal creates a fitting tribute to the physical place where American democracy was born. The building was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979, recognizing its universal significance. This gold Independence Hall medal represents the architectural component of the Franklin Mint's Bicentennial gold series, complementing the portrait-based George Washington version. The half-ounce gold format ensures both numismatic significance and precious metal value.
